IOW no cards for your own PC - you'll have to buy a new PC with it built in. | |

| Re: PC tuners? It requires Vista and a fully pre-built Vista PC that has been certified per Cable Labs' requirement. (Some system builders can self certify, but you and I can't!)
I was pricing one of them and the cheapest I could find a dual tuner box with a decently sized hard disk for was around $1700. | |

And dont even think of trying to record PPV or the premium movie channels. vista will disable that interface on protected content in effect turning that investment into a brick. -- You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much Bandwidth | |
