Oct 18th: $59 for new Hauppauge DCR-2650 Dual-Tuner Cable Card Receiver

I have one of these already but considering ordering a second one since it's such a good deal. $99 - $40 rebate = $59

Even without a cable card these also work as a Clear QAM dual tuner device, so it's a good deal in that regard too.

NEVERMIND - SOLD OUT NOW

I wonder why these are on sale. They usually only put something on sale if a new device is on the way out.
Thanks for the info.

That's a good question.

It's actually made by Silicon Dust who sells a similar 3-tuner and 6-tuner device, though the Silicon Dust tuners are network devices instead of USB. For a while it actually used the same Silicon Dust download for updating it's firmware and you could even see it on the network using the SiliconDust device manager. They eventually changed that.

I've had mine since it first came out, actually getting a pre-release version for testing. It works well, though it requires an occasion reset - once a month or less. I really feel like I should pick up another one even if at this point I don't need it. It's just such a good deal.

Thanks for the heads-up... perfect timing for me as clear qam goes away...

FYI, they are SOLD OUT now.

Looks like HDTV antennas will be the next popular item.
