Just picked up my 2nd one of these! To use a CableCARD with encrypted QAM, you need to use Windows Media Center. This only works with other DVR applications if you're using unencrypted QAM (usually just locals, but my cable company ditched even that recently). Still, Windows Media Center works ok, and can stream over the network to XBOX 360s (yet NOT Xbox Ones for some reason...)
I have had one for a month now off the last deal, and love it. I stream content through a Windoz PC runhing HDHRFling ($15) to transcode the live stream from the tuners so that my Roku's can play it on my dumb TV's (i.e., older, non-SmartTv's).

Also, rumor is that a new model will be out in a few months.
Thank you!
