This is what is up, id guess.
It's the normal Amazon price with a rebate. Nothing's up.
It has composite and S-Video inputs, but other than that it is NTSC tuner - not ClearQAM or ATSC... so there are only a handful of people who can use it on their analog CATV until their cable company also decides to go all digital.
Uhh dave_c, i believe it can record from component out of your cable box (1080i). Thus rendering it useful for recording anything.
You're paying for a tuner and semi-full featured remote. If all you want is to record the output from your cable box you can do that with a $30 card in your PC.
not in hd, you can't.
^ I take it you assume PC cards haven't evolved to HD like everything else? Granted, you could argue a $50 card, letalone $30, won't have all the features BUT as already mentioned if you are stringing this device passive from a cable or satellite box you lose a lot of features anyway.
