Engadget Does Vista Media Center and CableCARD

Engadget got a change to play with and have setup for them a few Dell XPS 410’s with Digital Cable Tuners (at least we know Dell is still planning PC’s with CableCARD).  The first install was crap, and they still don’t know what the issue is.  The second install went without any issues and done in under 45 minutes.  They need to take the first PC to another building to rule out issues with the cable in the building, I can bet that's what the issue is based on reading the report.

Any idea when Dell will be shipping systems with cablecard? My current media center pc is dying and it is time to upgrade, but I've been holding off for a cheaper system (hopefully the dell system will be under $1500 with cablecard). I'm just looking for a ballpark number, 2 months?
