Cost me $15, including shipping. I got a pretty good deal, though; I
think these usually go for $20 +shipping.
If you want one that will decrypt digital cable, then it costs about
$250-$300. That's probably because there's only one on the market at
the moment (it has to accept a CableCard, a standard set by a consortium
of US Cable companies).
However, there are others that can accept digital cable signals that
aren't scrambled on the market for about $50.
Oh, and most of these cards do hardware MPEG encoding, so if you ask
Media Center to record something, it doesn't eat very many CPU cycles.
