Help us test Beyond TV 4.6.1 (did I mention it includes QAM support?)

Earlier this evening, we shipped release candidate 1 (RC1) of Beyond TV 4.6.1 over at the SnapStream Beta Program (if you aren’t a member, just sign-up; access is immediate).
In addition to a slew of bug fixes, this release sports a new feature: QAM support with the HDHomeRun. From the release notes:
The big news for this build is support for the HDHomeRun network based atsc/qam dual tuner. Read that sentence again, I’ll wait. Due to an interesting atsc mapping system unique to the Homerun, we were able to include support for the QAM side of its tuner. The setup is a little more difficult than your traditional tuner card, but the result is well worth it. For more information on setting it up, visit the Beyond TV beta section of forums.snapstream.com
Based on a user-created poll, this should make a lot of people happy. In fact, I just spotted this post in the beta forums:
wow, this is awesome!
*head explodes*
*headless body goes out and buys HDHomeRun*
Setup isn’t for the faint of heart, but what you get in the end is undeniably cool… access to the unencrypted digital TV channels on your cable feed!
