Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner PCI Express Digital CableCard HDTV Tuner $170 + Free Shipping (expired)

Good price, cheapest I've seen.

I've been looking for a hdhomerun prime hdhr3-cc as well and will probably wait until I see that $130 deal again. Thanks for the post thought!

By far the best PC part I have every bought. My SSDs are sweet too!

4 tuners is the other advantage.

Runs pretty hot. Hard to cool within specs in a small htpc case inside a cabinet with the back of the cabinet cut out and a large hot AVR on the shelf below it.

can i record 3 different shows simultaneously and watch 1 (a fourth one) on the tv with this 4 tuner card? (assuming all 4 are DRMed aka 'copy once'd)?

Using software that supports protected content (Windows Media Center) yes.

I bought pre-ordered one of these when they were first announced 2-1/2 years ago. I had to wait five months before the first production run started shipping. Best $399 I ever spent. At $169 it's the best deal anywhere. Did I mention that I now own three of them? Fantastic product and the best support you'll ever find.

stupid question, but if I get this can I ditch my comcast DVR box but still get all the programming right?

yes you can...

I have the USB version, i love it! And i already returned my cable box. WMCE is great with the rosewill remote

How? More please on this topic as I am in same boat. TY

The idea is you get a "m-card" from you provider (not satellite dish providers, but the cable provider, say comcast) and do a self install (to avoid the truck roll 'fee'). during self install, call up comcast and get the card activated and check you get all your SD/HD channels and you should be good to go.

the flip side to this is that you cannot get any PPV or On-Demand programming using these cablecard tuners....

oh and by the way, your DVR box fees should go away and you should be charged ~2-3 bucks per month as cablecard 'fee'.

hope this helps..

You will most likely need a Tuning adapter which the cable company should provide for free. I have xbox 360 as extenders in all the rooms that I want TV in. I love my Ceton!

Great Deal!
I'm going to hold off a few months though, in order to see how good Ceton's new hardware will be. The Echo and Q should be pretty sweet, and I'm sure there will be an updated tuner card coming as well.
