Hauppauge CableCard Tuner by End of 2009

It looks like Hauppauge, the company that brought us the HD-PVR, which allows you to use the “analog hole” to get HD premium content into Media Center and SageTV, will be jumping into the CableCard space with a tuner by the end of the year.

With the newly announced relaxed restrictions on CableCard installations, enthusiasts will soon be able to start adding them to their Media Center systems without a hack to defeat the OEM requirement.  Hopefully this announcement will be followed by more companies bringing the same thing to the market.  Competition can only lower the cost of entry.

  • A husband and his wife who have been married 20 years were doing some yard work. The man was working hard cleaning the BBQ grill while his wife was bending over, weeding flowers from the flower bed.
    So the man says to his wife “Your rear end is almost as wide as this grill!” She ignores the remark.
    Later that night while in bed, her husband starts to feel frisky. The wife calmly responds, “If you think I'm gonna fire up the grill for one little wiener, you are sadly mistaken.”

    Thanks
