As a long time Windows Media Center user, the holy grail of TV viewing for me was the ability to watch and record digital cable signals ... That reality is finally here with the Ceton InfiniTV 4 card allowing me to use my Windows 7 Media Center setup that I built from various parts I had laying around to watch and capture all the cable channels I subscribed to.
The InfiniTV4 is a PCIe based card that has 4 television tuners built onto one adapter. I have been using the InfiniTV 4-tuner card for over a month now and it’s a beautiful piece of work ... I haven’t had a lick of trouble since installing the card and find that it just works without thinking about it. A pleasant surprise in the world of PCs and cable cards to be sure.
DIY home-theater PC builders have waited a long time for a product like Ceton’s InfiniTV 4. Drop one of these cards in your machine, insert the multi-stream CableCARD you acquired from your digital cable–TV service provider, and use Windows Media Center to watch high-definition TV and record as many as four simultaneous high-definition streams—including encrypted premium content such as HBO and Showtime. Boom! Your PC is now a four-tuner DVR cum media server, and you can dump your service-provider’s lousy set-top box.
