Took frickin long enough. I've been waiting since intial announcement day to get one of these suckers. Comcast encrypted all of channels and I've been missing out on FUTURAMA!]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
+1, pre-ordered this the 1st day... Already have truck roll scheduled for next week. I can't wait!]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/

and if so, how and what types of things can you find on it?
Ive been thinking about it, but not sure if its worth the money.]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
Yes. You need a program to download sabnzb is free and a premium provider such as Astraweb who I use.]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/

Why didn't you at least buy an ATI tuner? I haven't missed one episode of the new Futuramas. :)]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
I have two ATI tuners on my i5 machine and my brother has two ATI tuners on an XPS 420. Those pieces of garbage glitch like crazy and miss all the important recordings. I had to go to usenet to get the first airing of the new Futurama but I was able to watch reruns of The Daily Show. I'm waiting to see which one is better, the Ceton or HDhomerun. If either of them are like the ATI tuner, I'm dumping coax and sticking with usenet. And don't get me started on "truck rolls" here on the Cox network. Not one single tech that has come out here knew how to install them. I actually showed the tech how to do it and printed out the wiring diagram from MS. Then I got billed for the visit. Encrypting TV signals that customers are paying for isn't a viable solution any longer.]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Not really, but we can understand your need to justify the expense of a $400 card, and a HTPC to put into to watch a show that is SO readily available elsewhere, (with the commercials already removed, I might add).

Despite my paying over $100/month to evil direct satellite company, I still have to revert to nefarious means to watch Mad Men in HD, which is truly pathetic in this day and age.]]>Aug 6th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/

Don't mention the "U word" directly!]]>Aug 6th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
Who needs to work to justify avoiding doing things that are illegal and possibly could get you sued for all you will ever be worth in your entire lfe?

Having said that, being an ass is even harder to overcome. You should probably start working on that immediately before you find yourself lashing out or belittling people on the internet to promote your own self worth.... oh right.]]>Aug 4th 2010 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
The giant squid (genus: Architeuthis) is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae, represented by as many as eight species.

Having said that, your grammar was incorrect.]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
"Should have" -> "Should've" -> "Should of"

Sadly, this is a more common mistake than I'd like to think.]]>Aug 5th 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/

Network or not, CableCARD can only be accessed by one machine at a time, so not sure what the point is?]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
The benefit is you can locate the network tuner anywhere and not have to have the computer next to a cable line. I have my HDHRs in the attic right next to the switches for my LAN and my cable modem.]]>Aug 4th 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
Oh wow. I didnt know about the limitation of having to have one main computer controlling the card. Still, if I can play live broadcasts from the 3 tuners on multiple computers, then that is still pretty good. Especially considering it would be an extra $150 for the 4th tuner that the Ceton card gives you.]]>Aug 4th 2010 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
This is ultimately not much different hardware than a TV tuner, which sell for next to nothing. ]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
They do in so much that this is a more complicated product than an unencrypted QAM tuner. It also must meet a rigorous CableLabs certification process unlike cheaper unencrypted QAM tuners.]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/

Or the cable companies itself had a little more vision.

Well, too much to ask from both I guess.......]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 5th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
Actually $399 is a steal for a 4 tuner cablecard device! Remember the only game in town prior to this was the ATI digital cable tuner and that was over $200 PER tuner.]]>Aug 4th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/
And even getting one on ebay will run you a couple hundred for a single channel tuner. I like this and will think about it depending on the word from Silicondust on the HDHomerun schedule.]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/infinitv-4-quad-cablecard-tuner-is-shipping/Aug 4th 2010 7:27PM
