Nope - the DUAL tuner will be less than $300...]]>Oct 7th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/
You read right the other guy didn't. They said pricers of the quad core will be closer to $300 if they can get big enough orders (ie from newegg and the likes)

That right there is what would help media center more than anyone knows. I have been thinking all along Cable companies can get complete mini pc's cheaper then they pay for settop boxes or on par and offer a more compeling solution to end user for their "low monthly" rental fees.

P.S. -- Depending on the TA your cable company provides, one TA can either resolve 2 streams and some can do up to 4. So you MAY need multiple TAs.]]>Oct 7th 2009 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/
The way SDV works, it can't be incorporated into the card itself. It has to be incorporated into the host device, and until tru2way goes nationwide, most of us won't have hardware that can do the necessary upstream communication to do it. Blame CableLabs for this.]]>Oct 7th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/
We all know the game they play and whos fault it is, but it's not that difficult. OMG we need a device that can communicate in 2 directions. By god that just can't be done .... (sarcasm)

" one TA can either resolve 2 streams and some can do up to 4. So you MAY need multiple TAs." Exactly, and that is the problem. So now you have 2 additional boxes talking to the tuner using cablecards for authentication just to ..... ready for this .... Watch TV. It shouldn't be that frickin ridiculous. I mean come on.]]>Oct 7th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 7th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/a-brief-history-of-ceton-and-its-6-tuner-cablecard-htpc-tuner/Oct 9th 2009 9:24PM
