    TV with CableCard slot

    I am looking for a TV that has a CableCard slot. If any one knows if such a TV is still made by any manufacturer, info would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Train. I had not seen that thread. I am looking at a SiliconDust HDHomeRunPrime.

    I have not had any luck yet finding a current TV with a CableCard Slot though. I hate to pay $500 for a TV that I will only be able to use $50 worth of the electronic in. Even the remote control would be useless. I would have to walk halfway across the house to change channels.

    Understand the hate part.
    So I looked that thing up
    http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun/prime/
    my search
    https://www.google.com/search?q=Sili...-a&channel=nts

    Not into that sort of thing, but my guess it will be messed with by close wifi setups.
    Got curious and run WifiInfoView v1.70, there must be over 50 routers right close to me.

    Good luck!

    I don't have anywhere near that many WiFi setups near me, and, in any case, I would use the wired Gigabit ethernet setup I already have for a SiliconDust device. I am currently building a new LGA-2011v3 PC, and I have a 24 port gigabit switch with available ports, so that should take care of recording and transferring data between devices.

    That should do things nicely!
