Dual CableCARD Media Centers from Cannon PC

Boutique media center developer Cannon PC has announced an OEM agreement with Microsoft that will enable it to offer dual CableCARD-equipped media center PCs in its Home and Pro A/V product series. And if two CableCARDs aren’t enough to meet your viewing and recording needs, the company says quad-CableCARD versions will be available in the “near future.”

“We are excited about our partnership with Microsoft and the opportunity to offer our customers Digital CableCARD” said Gregg Cannon of Cannon PC, in a statment. “Cannon PC has worked hard over the years to establish itself and major player in the media center market and CableCARD will allow us to bring the next level of this exciting technology to our customers.”

VidaBox: Soon with CableCARD

Media center maker VidaBox has announced that it will soon be offering CableCARD options with its media center systems like the VidaBox Stealth and MAX, enabling users to tap into cable server providers offerings, potentially while enjoying a variety of other high-definition digital video offerings.

“We’re thrilled to be the only manufacturer to offer the latest in high definition&mdahs;CableCARD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD—all in one box,” said Steven Cheung, one of VidaBox’s co-founders, in a release. “Integrated dual CableCARD systems are one step closer to having a true ‘one box’ entertainment solution. Anyone can obtain a CableCARD from their cable television provider, insert it into their VidaBox, then start watching and recording dozens of premium HD digital channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, ESPN, Discovery, etc.) All of our users can now experience up to 1080p playback, whether it be from their TV provider or a high-def video disc.”

Quote from the article:

“If you’re shopping for a new TV or personal video recorder (PVR) this year, you should know something about CableCard. At this month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, TiVo, Hewlett-Packard and others unveiled new products incorporating the technology. Most new digital television models including HDTVs now include CableCard hook-ups. “
