Cable company starts to loose money from all those un-rented STB's
Cable company gets pissed and charges a premium for the cable card rental, additional charges for them to install it, plus some other made up surcharges.
End result, cable cards and HTPC's don't seem like a good idea anymore.

Have a look....4 tuners, 1 cableCARD.

Btw, even with the Cable companies charging for CableCARDs you still have a huge advantage over STBs because:
1. They are cheaper - usually $1 - $3 / month for rent vs. $5+ for a STB capable of HD and PVR
2. You don't have to use that terrible experience on the STB.
3. You get 1 source and experience for TV, Music, Pictures, etc...

All a win-win..Bottom line comment #1 is way off base.]]>Sep 10th 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/Sep 10th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/Sep 10th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/Sep 10th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/Sep 10th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ceton-cablecard-pc-tuner-details-emerge/
