The cost comparison is in the article’s conclusion. However the author compares only one Tivo Premiere (with a lifetime subscription, so no monthly fees) to a Media Center PC w/cablecard so it’s a much closer race with no clear winner. [/quote]
I must have missed that the first time through.  The cost comparison is still way off base because it only compares a single Tivo Premiere with lifetime vs. a Media Center PC with cablecard.  It would take two Tivo Premieres with lifetime to create a fair comparison since the Ceton tuner has four tuners vs. only two for a Tivo Premiere.  That clearly puts the HTPC in the winner’s circle, IMHO.
