Sony Still Selling Digital Cable Tuners

Update: The tuners now are no longer available. Canon PC is the only place to get new tuners, besides Ebay

After a brief hiatus, Sony has started Vaio-branded digital cable tuners once again at the price of $299 with free shipping. Sonystyle.com is one of the few places to purchase standalone cable tuners if you wanted to add a second, third, or even fourth tuner to you set-up. As before, the tuners available are only the external versions, which connect via USB.

Digital cable tuners are typically only sold bundled with a new computer. These tuners still require a special bios and a special version of Windows Vista to access premium cable channel.

The only other place that I know of (besides Ebay) that sells standalone tuners is Cannon PC. In fact, Cannon is the only place you can buy internal tuners (note: internal tuners still connect via USB).
