A $1000 price tage for a CableCard equipped HTPC really won’t break down any barriers in the HTPC world.Let’s face it, if you are out shopping a TiVo looks a lot more attractive in terms of price than an HTPC. In my opinion, releasing tuners that are reasonably priced for all major TV sources would be a much better way to increase adoption rates.
Of course I shouldn’t complain when prices come down. For just under a grand, you can expect an AMD tri-core or Intel E7300 setup with a couple of gigs of ram and an internal digital cable tuner.
