Here's the question of the day, though: what kind of tuner does it have?
Googling around, a saw a passing reference to a 'low-profile PCI riser for a
proprietary tuner'. So what's the story? Is it a low-profile riser card
that allows (horizontal) full-height PCI cards? Or is it a riser card that
allows only low-profile PCI cards? And what is the tuner that it comes with?
I can't find any serious specs on this thing at all, other than listing the
external ports.
