Vista CableCARD Media Center PCs - what do you want to know? {Engadget}
May 22nd 2007 12:11PM Here is my dilemma:
Right now is a horrible time to build/buy a new computer... a lot of standards are up in the air, especially if you are a media freak. HOWEVER, I HAVE to upgrade my rig in the next month, as my current one is a dinosaur...
I could skip the whole CableLabs certified ATI crap and go analog with OTA/HDHomeRun and maybe wait for a MCE DirectTV tuner to come out or even a standalone DCT... but then I'm left out in the cold if CableCARD/DCT catches on and I don't have one/can't get a standalone one... On the other hand, I could get a Dell/HP media center with DCT, pay extra $$$, have less upgradeability, but potentially get stuck with a dying CableCARD format... and $500 for 2 tuners!!
What is a computer geek to do!??!
S1Digital offers CableCARD-enabled Media Centers {Engadget}
Apr 26th 2007 2:46PM Right... so, I just don't get it. Maybe I'll be interested when these things cost less than $3,500. I can build a frickin core 2 duo machine with that much power/graphics/storage for about $1100... I just can't buy a damn vista MCE compatible cablecard tuner to hook it up to my TV.... FOR THAT, I need to spend $3,500 for some reason.... seriously, I DONT GET IT. Why are they doing this to us?!?!?!
