I am going to be in the market for a cable card tuner in the next two months so this is good news for me. Questions is $249 for 3 tuners or $400 for 4 tuners with the Ceton. Might end getting two of them if I can successfully implement the hack to allow more than 4 tuners.


Thought I would share the news with the [H].

I will be in for 1 for damn sure if someone can make these things work with SageTV.. Hell I would be at 350, so 250 sounds like a real nice price.
 
They should be able to work with quite a few front ends. I think they have been working with mythtv developers to have it work there along with Windows MCE.
 
Problem still remains though that without DRM its not supposed to be compatible.. & since the only one with a real drm currently is MCE everyone else is still SOL.. Not saying someone wont find a way around it, but until then I am just gonna wait anxiously
 
The deciding factor for me will be if SageTV supports the tuners. If so, HDHomerun Prime... here I come :) I'll finally be able to drop the old analog tuners I still use, doesn't require internal slots, and $250 is a lot easier to swallow than $400. One Prime and one standard HDHomeRun should give me all the recording tuners I need.
 
I loved my HDHomeRun. Too bad Comcast screwed me over and encrypted everything before this came out. I ended up selling my media PC and getting a Tvio -- I would have much rather used MCE.
