canesfan2001 posted : To start all I need to do is add a tuner to my PC. That would be $400 for the Ceton card with 4 tuners. Then I would be reducing my cable bill by as much as $40/mo. I can use the Xbox 360 I already have as an extender to my living room TV.
This would pay for itself in less than a year.
If I were to build a whole NEW PC for this it would add about $400 to the total cost.
If I really went all out I would build a new HTPC and get an HDTV to replace the old CRT in the bedroom for another $500, hook the HTPC to that and leave the Xbox in the living room as an extender. This would total about $1300 but would give me functionality way beyond what i have from Comcast.
