Looks like the market for CableCard tuners is heating up, once again.

New enterant, Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 a collaboration between Silicon Dust and Hauppauge to produce an external (USB) dual tuner CableCard device.

Pre order price is $129 +$10 shipping + Tax in NY

I imagine that once it hits newegg it will be at $100 as a shell shocker at some point this year.

Great for people who don't need more than 2 tuners (i.e. single TV households).

You can easily hook it up to a Dual Atom (ION mobo) based nettop pc and have your self a dual channel DVR for under $400.

Edit: Add to cart to see $129 price

This looks phenomenal. I'll be all over this once it hits the street.
