Review - Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 USB CableCARD Tuner

Intro

Hauppauge has had a long tradition of delivering tuners and capture solutions to the home theater PC (HTPC) market so it is only appropriate that the legacy continues in the modern era with Hauppauge’s new CableCARD offering, the WinTV-DCR-2650. Offering two tuners, a USB connection to PCs and a tantalizing low retail price in the Digital Cable Tuner (DCT) market, the WinTV-DCR-2650 is poised to find its way into many HTPC enthusiasts’ hands.

Review - First Look: Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB CableCARD Tuner

ImageCompared to just a few weeks ago, it is a great time to be in the market for a Digital Cable Tuner (DCT).  We just took a look at devices from SiliconDust and Hauppauge and now it is Ceton's turn because their newest tuner, the $299 InfiniTV 4 USB, arrived this afternoon.  Obviously we have not had much time to test it, so there will be a full review in the next few days but in the short time it has been here we had a chance to put together a quick look at the device.

HD HomeRun PrimeA few months ago there was no competition in the market for Digital Cable Tuners, now there are several form factors, OEMs and interfaces to choose from. Earlier today Aaron provided a first look at Hauppauge's WinTV-DCR-2650 Dual Digital Cable Tuner.  Now it is time to do the same for its big brother - the three tuner, $250 network enabled SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime.

Review - Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad CableCARD Tuner - Part I


Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad CableCARD Tuner


Christmas came early this year, at least for those of us eagerly awaiting Ceton's once fabled InfiniTV 4 Quad CableCARD Tuner. The Ceton InfiniTV 4 arrived at my home yesterday (Wednesday, August 4th) a little after lunch. I knew it was coming so I planned ahead and decided to head home for a late lunch. My plan was to take some photos, install the card, call Comcast to pair the Cable CARD, eat lunch, run through the Media Center tuner setup; all within an hour. Not everything went as planned, find out more after the break.
