This doesn't really require any hacking, or anything illegal for that matter -- we're not lawyers -- but it isn't cheap. The internal version of the ATI Digital Cable Tuner pictured above can be found new on eBay for about $195, or new from PC vendors like<A href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/24/cannon-pc-starts-offering-internal-cablecard-tuners-for-sale-sep/"> Cannon PC for just under $300</A>.
