File this one in the surprising news category. It appears as though Silicondust is in the process of making a CableCARD tuner for Windows 7! With all of the news regarding the failure of CableCARD, the last thing I was expecting was a CableCARD HDHomeRun but it’s awesome news! In a postasking about the possibility of an HDHomeRun with CableCARD, a member of Silicondust replied “We are quiet because we are busy” and posted the following screenshot.

Hopefully the price is right (close to $300) so more people can get in on CableCARD for Windows 7. I currently have two ATI CableCARD tuners but would definitely consider replacing those (and freeing up some desk space) for a networked CableCARD tuner I could put in the basement with my other HDHomeRun.

More details of the tuner should come at CES.
