I currently have a HDTV with a Clear QAM Tuner. I a using a TWC SA 8300HD. I would like to test the QAM out. Do I just put the cable-in wire into the back of the tv (coax I presume)?

Yes, straight from the wall into the rf input of the TV. Then do a channel scan on "cable".

I know that the local cable company broadcasts clear QAM signals. I have been looking for a stand-alone clear QAM tuner or a DVD player that has a clear QAM tuner built in. A lot of the discussions are about devices that are no longer produced or have bad reviews.

Could someone please recommend me a decent one or point me to the correct forum to read.

Thanks in advance

That was quick... Thanks a bunch.

Most new digital tuner equipped DVDrs also have a QAM tuner - the only down side is none of them have a true HD output.
