Price is fair for what it does, considering the price of standalone atsc tuners, this is actually decent for the full functionality of connecting to the dvr and program guide. Still, why the hell didn't they just leave the tuner in it in the first place, as the previous model had it inside. I'd rather just pay the 60 bucks extra to have it fully integrated into the dvr chassis.
Then again, I'm looking to switch to the usb DirecTV tuner as soon as it's released, after all I've already got an ATSC tuner in my htpc for dvr use.
