Does anyone know of a HDTV tuner that can take a cable card? I've looked all
over the internet and can't find one. Maybe I'm using the wrong search words.

It will never happen... at least officially. I'm sure that eventually
someone will figure out how to do it.

Cablecard ready tuners can ONLY be supplied with a CableLabs certified PC.

Which of the certified PCs are rated best?
Is it possible to get a certified MCE PC with TWO HDTV tuners (thus, two
cable cards)?

Is there any sense that this requirement will ease in the future? I'm pretty
frustrated with this issue. I have two perfectly good media centers at home.
I will not shell out a few thousand bucks to replace them just because I
can't get tuners with cable cards. I guess if there's no other choice I'll
end up with HD/Tivo boxes from the local cable or satellite company.

This seems to be locking out those of us who have been using media center
all this time.
