At least you can get a backup copy of the HW-150 firmware from Mediasonic to revert to - as long as you don't brick your box ) You'd have to try V1 through V3 to see which one works best for your system and needs, and it's still possible none of them will work very well And of course Mediasonic could change the HW-150 hardware they're selling at any point so the iView V1-V3 firmware won't run on it anymore. At present, your best bet for QAM under $50 is probably a $10 iView remote control, one of the iView firmware versions (V1 through V3) for the iView 3500STBII with a channel 3/4 switch, and (since iView no longer sells the particular box that ran those firmware versions) a new HomeWorX HW-150 to install the firmware on (The eMatic might run the iView V1-V3 firmware also, but that hasn't been tested, and I don't know of a way to switch back if it doesn't work. How well one of these boxes works with your system depends on the combination of the QAM system itself, which channels you're interested in, and which firmware you use. Mostly for the reasons discovered: it won't work correctly with many clear QAM systems.
