Hauppauge to Sell CableCard Tuners by End of 2009

Looks like its good news for the DIY CableCARD market, Hauppauge are said to be coming out with a CableCARD tuner later this year. With Microsoft lifting the OEM restrictions for CabelCARD and Ceton entering the market things are looking brighter on the CableCARD front

Great news, but how will you, an enthusiast, ever get your hands on the darn things?
