Here's one now from ATI. It does require Vista however.

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.

Addition..

'you'll have to buy a new PC with it built in' pre-installed with Vista.

And dont even THINK of trying to record anything. vista will graciously disable that for you.

You won't see them for your PC. Why? CableLabs will only license the tech. to OEM's for inclusion in a finished PC.

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