Final Approach
Anyone use media center and cable tuners? Since Comcrap went all digital and effectively brain-deaded my TiVos (ok, "almost" - I could get a bunch of DTAs, IR Blasters and struggle with that Rube Goldberg setup)...
I bought a pc (Windoze 7) but cheaped out and it's only got 1 PCI slot. Got the Hauppauge HVR-2250 dual tuner, but now I'm back to square 1 again. Need to either kludge up IR blasters and DTAs, or get a cableCARD. I vote cableCARD. However, for that I either need a cableCARD ready tuner or another pci slot. Crap!
So, I heard there's a few USB cableCARD devices, but so far can only find Hauppauge InfiniTV 4 for $300 (replaces my newly purchased $150 2 channel tuner) or Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 for $150 and again - what to do with the newly purchased PCI 2 channel tuner?
My wife's already miffed that she's been without TiVo (like) service for a weeks and I've already spent way more than just picking up the phone and getting a comcast dvr ...
