Ceton to Unveil CableCARD Quad-Tuner ($399)

I know there is a cost associated with everything, but man…$400 for a tuner solution sure seems like a barrier to entry here. But, considering it supports 4 streams, that’s really only $100 per tuner, making it a bit more acceptable given we were paying $150-200 for the single ATI Tuners….but do that many people need 4 to pay that much? Should be interesting.

Zatz Not Funny

The $399 PC accessory is expected to ship in Q1 and enables simultaneous tuning of four live channels of digital cable via one multistream CableCARD. (We don’t yet know how many tuners the new CableCARD HDHomeRun offers.) While more tuners are better, without a holistic whole-home approach their full potential won’t be tapped.
