Ceton Infinitv-4: Finally, we can record four TV shows at once cheaply
Dan Seitz 
HDTV is a wonderful thing for dozens of reasons, not the least of which is that we can finally get more detail on our local anchorwoman’s cleavage. But it also means we can cram cable tuners and descramblers into smaller and smaller boxes, and more of them.
Hence, the Ceton Infinitv-4: if you live in a house where you’re constantly arguing over what to watch, this will be a gift from the gods.
It’s fairly straightforward: hook the Infinitv-4 up to your cable, and then use the USB cord to plug it into your computer, whatever. Then use the provided software to record TV, set it, and forget.
Yes, the Infinitv-4 takes care of the rest, if by “rest”, you mean streaming the four separate channels you might want to record. In fact, the Infinitv works well with, say, game consoles like the 360, so if you want to watch the game and your roommate is obsessed with Downton Abbey, which he insists on pretending are 24 reruns, you can both watch what you want, when you want it.
How much does this convenience run you? It used to cost $600, but as demand has gone up, prices have gone down: you can get the Infinitv-4 USB for just $200.
