“We caught up with Gary Hammer from Ceton this morning and snapped some pictures of the low profile quad CableCARD tuner that will be the first version to reach consumers. The card includes a little RG6 dongle so that it’ll fit in either a full or low profile PCI-E slot and will be available late in the first quarter for $399 — an exact date wasn’t given, but we believe this means March 31st.
Hands-on with the low profile Ceton quad CableCARD tuner
“The original ATSC/QAM HDHomeRun was love at first sight for us three years ago, so we were very pleased to learn that the crew over at Silicon Dust was working on a network based CableCARD tuner. The dual tuner model in development will require just one CableCARD and one coax input, but will allow you to record two HD shows at once, and all for $249 — less than the single ATI CableCARD tuner sells for today.”

“When we first learned that SiliconDust was going to release an HDHomeRun that supported CableCARD, we were concerned that our favorite features wouldn’t make it into the product. So we dropped by the booth and checked out the development board (pictured above) to learned more about the plans — this is a dual tuner test board, despite the fact it looks like it has three. The best news is that you’ll be able to share a tuner with multiple Media Center PCs, which is really cool.”

“During the Microsoft keynote, Ballmer mentioned that customers of IPTV providers like AT&T U-Verse will be able to watch TV on Windows 7 PCs, but he glazed over the how. The how is Windows 7 Media Center — according to the press release that is available after the jump — and there’s no special hardware like a tuner required.”
