Those of you comparing the price of CableCARD tuners to regular QAM tuners obviously don't understand the technical differences and are therefore not qualified to critisize pricing. A regular QAM tuner does NOT allow you to receive encrypted cable broadcasts. (i.e. Showtime, HBO, Discovery HD, etc.)

The only product you can objectively compare the Ceton card to is the ATI CableCard tuner and those are $250 per tuner.]]>Jan 11th 2010 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 6th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think XBMC can handle DRMed content. That's the point of a media center extender; it can. Live TV is also an area I believe only the extender would be able to handle.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/
And how well is that XBMC box gonna work with CableCard and encrypted HD cable? Boom.

I'm completely with you. I'm tired of paying Tivo $13 a month for almost zero development. It's pretty sad when the cableco's STB UIs are starting to look better. They may not work better, but this isn't the 90's anymore. WMC's UI used to be kind of clunky in the XP days, but in Win7 it really puts Tivo to shame.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/
However, if SiliconeDust's network tuner is also 4 stream MOCUR and can be used with multiple HTPCs for similar money....they'll get my dollars. Really have enjoyed using my HDHomeRun with 2 computers. Just not sure if/how CableCard would work like that.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/
The question is network functionality. I think Ceton has said down the road they might be looking at a networked device as well.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/cetons-quad-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-media-center-gets-a-pri/Jan 5th 2010 7:24PM
