Ceton is set to take over the CableCARD PC tuner market.

We can’t say we saw this coming, but a little technology company we never heard of until CES ‘09 is going to not only be the first to market with a multi-stream quad tuner CableCARD device, but will probably be the only one for some time

We learned all about it this new tuner first thing this morning and were very pleased to see a “technology preview” of the card in action at the Microsoft’s booth [at the CEDIA show]. As expected, it is a single PCI-E card that uses one multi-stream CableCARD and offers the ability to record four HD channels at once.

At CEDIA Expo 2009 in Atlanta, [Microsoft] announced that Windows Media Center in Windows 7 will add native support for QAM and ATSC standards; support for switched digital video (SDV); and a new tool to let users add a CableCard-enabled digital cable tuner to their PC. Ceton, was showing a technology preview of its Multi-Channel Cable TV Card, which lets Windows Media Center PCs play or record multiple live channels of premium HDTV at once, as well as stream HD to multiple TV sets throughout the home, through a single CableCard.
