Hands-on with EI's four-CableCARD 754 LifeMedia Server

Just as expected, Exceptional Innovation was showing off its new Model 754 LifeMedia Server at CEDIA, and sure enough, that bad boy was sportin' no fewer than four CableCARD slots. According to an on-site representative, this very machine should start shipping out to consumers within a month or so, and while we can only imagine how pricey this niche system will be, we're certain there's a few hardcore television viewers out there that will gleefully pony up.

I want cablecard support for Dish network. I desire my Media Center to be center stage again.

Record 4 shows at once while watching a 5th already Recorded. Boy, that solves the problem of all the shows you want to watch all on at the same time on the same day. I haven't had a need to Record 4 shows at once, but there's been a few times of Recording 3 shows at once. You shouldn't have problems now with the Kids wanting to watch some lame MTV show while your wanting to watch something else and the Wife some chick flick, etc.
