Nope. Windows only for now. And it will stay that way for as long as the powers that be maintain control. To them, Linux is the unholy land of the "insecure data path", which isn't actually that far from the truth. Sucks for us though.]]>May 11th 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/
Once reverse engineered, GPL the code and post it in so many places that its impossible to shut it down. Do it all anonymously so that Cable Labs cant find you to file a DMCA lawsuit.

Sure, one can buy another NIC, but that is an extra cost and available slots are a premium these days. I suppose the extra NIC can go into the slot previously reserved for the Ceton...]]>May 12th 2010 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/
Even if you are out of PCI slots you can use a USB NIC. The cool thing is the HDHR will work with an APIPA (169.254.x.x) and crosses over automatically so you don't even have to configure the extra Nic. Just plug in any CAT5 cable between the USB Nic and the HDHR and run the HDHR config like any other setup.]]>May 12th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/Now if WHS supported RAID6... ]]>May 11th 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 12th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/
When I look at these, I think, hey maybe I'll give it another shot... but then I remember you still have to rent the card from the cable company, for the same price as a set top box, and you won't have access to any on demand options.

All this jumping through hoops to pay more than I want for channels I don't watch.

Cable is a joke, coupled with the joke of cablecards.

TV just isn't worth it.

I will never look at another cable company, satellite company, or media provider in general unless I get everything available with no restrictions on what I play it on, or ala cart options that don't rape your wallet.

Television and the companies in control of it are outdated, and it's time for a change. Stop feeding these companies, it only feeds the mentality that we, as consumers, don't know what we want but are too stupid to do anything about it.]]>May 11th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/
I don't think so. They are getting the date out there in anticipation of ceton's tuner releasing in a couple weeks. We knew SD was coming out with one, but knowing it's relatively soon may cause some people to wait for a known & well respected company's device over an unknown Ceton (nothing against them, but they don't have SD's reputation yet).

Personally, I'd never use 4 tuners at once, so 150 bucks savings & getting an external tuner.. I'll definitely wait now.]]>May 11th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/May 11th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/
If CableLabs changes the restriction, but this and the Ceton would work the same way and allow splitting tuners between computers. Just how much flexibility you'd have remains to be seen after the rules are changed. (CableLabs works V E R Y S L O W L Y).

If you are currently using Cisco/Atlanta hardware when you get switched to SDV you'll need the shoebox tuning adapter from Cisco.

Unlike the Motorola tuning adapter the Cisco hardware only allows for two tuner streams. That means any device you have with more than two tuners loses the third.

The alternative is not to use a tuning adapter and you'll get all your tuners but no SDV channels. The CableCard will still enable you to see any other digital channels you subscribe to.]]>May 11th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/hdhomerun-cablecard-will-feature-three-tuners-in-time-for-the-ho/

I signed up for the beta back when that went up. Hope I get in a tiny bit more than I did before :)

I'd been holding off ordering the Ceton for a bit, hoping it would hit Amazon or New Egg. Now I'm more interested to see more on this, too.

I can probably wait until fall TV before I make myself pull the trigger.
