MediaPortal posts new beta with new look and CableCARD, teases bigger sequel (video)
Author: Tyler Evans
MediaPortal is a rare veteran spinoff of XBMC– a testament to its enthusiast base, but also a sign that it needs a fresh coat of paint. A brand-new 1.3 beta may supply just what house theater COMPUTER users have been trying to find to keep the front end appropriate, at least in the short term. It holds a much more modern (and less Windows Media Center-like) skin with slight tweaks to the layout and total interface. CableCARD support additionally makes its past due appearance, although the shortage of official CableLabs approval keeps the software from acknowledging any copy-protected programs. Do not fuss if those additions aren’t enough, nonetheless– we’ve been offered a hint regarding exactly what the long-in-development MediaPortal 2 will certainly offer with a pair of videos. The clips are mostly top-level reviews, but they allude to mobile tie-ins, events, extensions, more skin support, video backgrounds and updates. With an Autumn Build of MP2 available “right around the corner” for customers, it could not be long before we discover exactly what those brand-new additions are like through first-hand experience.

InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuner prices are dropping, down to $256 shipped from $399 previously
Author: Laura Clark
Whether it’s due to pressure from SiliconDust’s HDHomeRun Prime or as a result of simplified hardware is unclear, but Ceton’s InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuner is now available for as little as $ 256 shipped. Forum posters at Missing Remote noticed a $ 282 fire sale for the HTPC cable TV adapters going on eBay Friday, before prices dropped precipitously at Buy.com ($ 264), and an Amazon third party ($ 265). Lesser known Erwin Computers currently claims the lowest price, while Ceton’s official Amazon listing and those of other resellers like Cannon PC and Fluid Digital remain at the $ 399 MSRP — for now. The choice is yours — wait for official word and to see if prices drop any lower or click the buy button now and get some (network sharable) cable TV reception for your computer in time for the second episode of Teen Wolf on MTV.

No Comments »HDHomeRun Prime CableCARD tri-tuner comes one step closer to reality
Author:
Originally announced at CES in January, Silicon Dust’s entrance into the encrypted cable TV tuner market just reached an important milestone on its way to market: CableLabs Certification — anytime CableLabs is involved things take longer than anyone expects. The price of the three tuner HDHomeRun Prime is still set at $ 249, but the hope of being released by the “holidays” seems lost (Thanksgiving counts as one of those days right?). Said product is expected to start production in the next few weeks, after which you’ll be able to pre-order the elusive tuner from major retailers. The big question of course is with the Ceton InfiniTV 4 still on a three month backorder, and selling on eBay for over twice its retail price, which should you order? We suggest you pre-order get both just be safe; worst case you end up on the good side of a crazy eBay auction.

Verizon FiOS Simulcrypt rollout will break most CableCARD tuners
Author: Tech Blogger
There comes a time in any electronic gadget’s life when it becomes useless and although it’s inevitable, the length of the useful lifespan can vary greatly. In recent years firmware updates have really helped extend the life of devices, but when the manufacturer has no financial incentive to support older products, it can mean a premature end (at least from the customer’s perspective). Well after three years that time has apparently come for FiOS TV subscribers who own ATI Digital Cable Tuners (and many other CableCARD devices). Now before you get too up in arms about this, it isn’t really Verizon’s fault, you see said company wants to be able to use Cisco and Motorola devices in the same area and this means it needs a tech called Simulcrypt. This is good for most customers as it will likely bring better prices and selection. And although this is a CableLabs certified technology, a firmware update is required to ensure the device handles the encryption properly. So while a company like Ceton or TiVo has already released updates for it’s devices, ATI and other TV manufactures have long since given up on the CableCARD market, and hence, supporting any legacy devices. The only good news is that you now have the perfect excuse to justify replacing your obsolete device. Don’t like this option? Well you can get a FiOS DVR (with it’s 2002 circa 160GB HDD) or just file a complaint to the FCC — this won’t do much, but might make you feel better.
[Thanks, Scott!]

Okoro’s ultraslim SX100 HTPC updated with quad CableCARD support
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Who says you need a supercomputer in your den to record four high-def feeds at once? Okoro Media Systems, a long-standing player in the pre-fab HTPC business, has just unleashed the latest update to its OMS-SX100, which measures in at just three inches tall and should slide in easily to whatever AV cabinet you’re currently using. The base $1,695 system is equipped with a 2.93GHz Core i3-530 processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a Blu-ray drive, 2TB SATA hard drive, integrated 7.1 channel surround sound, Windows 7 (SageTV 6.5 is an optional install) and gigabit Ethernet. Oh, and did we mention a quad HD tuner and room for up to 219 hours of DVR footage? It’s up for order in the source link, but we’d caution against just venturing down for venturing’s sake.
[Thanks, Jeff]
