Personally I don't think we're going to see another tuner-type box. The market for ATSC devices is too small - we've seen ATSC DVRs, etc, flop in the market. And our lovely cable industry means a clear-QAM-only tuner is nigh-worthless, you'd need CableCARD to access most content. And then I bet you wouldn't be allowed to stream it without DTCP-IP.
The Tuner itself apparently never sold well - people went for the AV and PRO. I just don't think there is enough demand for a place-shifting tuner box. I bet most people with the PRO aren't even using the tuner. People who use ATSC or HD digital cable almost always have some box that can be connected to the Slingbox - ATSC tuner box, cable box, TiVo, etc.
