Ceton ships InfiniTV 6 PCIe tuner, crams six HD channels into a home theater PC

Ceton ships InifiniTV 6 CableCARD tuner in PCIe form

Ceton vowed that it would release a PCI Express equivalent of its InfiniTV 6 ETH box, and it's delivering on that promise (if belatedly) by shipping the InfiniTV 6 PCIe. The adapter still lets Windows Media Center users watch or record up to six HD cable TV channels through one CableCARD, but in a form factor that slots neatly into a dedicated home theater PC. The board is in stock at Amazon and Newegg today at its expected $299 price. While that cost puts the InfiniTV PCIe at the high end of the TV tuner spectrum, it may be worthwhile for viewers who just can't afford to miss a show.

Avant-garde Guitar Tuning

Posted on by

Because guitars must be tuned each time before being played, designer Hans Kim felt this should be an emotional and more interactive experience than the one offered by current digital display tuners. In his design, the interaction consists of spinning the dial on the ‘open’ end of the tuner to choose the note the user wants to tune. The tuner then wobbles left or right depending on the accuracy of the note played, with 90 degrees being perfectly in tune. Once the interaction is complete, the tuner lies flat on the floating base as if to say “I’m not listening anymore”.

If you've been thinking about building an HTPC without spending a lot of money then first of all we have a post that can help you with that (and a comment section of folks saying they can do even better), and second, it might be time to grab one of SiliconDust's HDHomeRun Prime TV tuners. The three tuner CableCARD device can turn your computer into a cable box, and Woot is selling brand new units for just $130 (plus $5 shipping) in this morning's one day sale, a decent discount form the $180 - $200 prices we found elsewhere. Still not convinced this is for you? Check out our hands-on with the device or a quick video trailer embedded after the break. Oh, and if you need a new HDTV to plug it into, Woot's also running a sale on some LG LCDs with 3D and connected apps for $650 / $900 (47-inch / 55-inch).
