TV Tuner Card/device

I would like to get a tv tuner card/device for my HTPC. Just looking for people's experiences, tips, recommendations, what have you.
What I want:
1) dual tuner capability
2) ClearQAM tuners (through cable connection, so I'm assuming signal strength won't be an issue)
3) Compatibility with WMC on Windows 7
Cards/devices:
1) Hauppauge 2250. Good price, but I've heard some people have had issues with weaker signals (hopefully won't matter for me). Anyone used this card? Did it work well? Does the IR reciever play well with WMC?
2) HD HomeRun3. Everyone says it's the best, but I kind of like the built in ir blaster with the hauppauge.
3) Hauppauge 2650. Probably no one has this yet, but as it allows for using a cable card at a ridiculously cheap price I would totally get this one. However, I'm worried it won't be very stable so early in the release. So on the off chance that anyone got this right away, how is it?

Yeah, if I had the cash the ceton is definitely what I would buy. I was hoping I could get away with half the price on the hauppauge 2650, but I'm hesitant to buy so early in the cycle. I've already read a few things about driver problems (apparently it doesn't work with tuning adapters yet, which may or may not matter since I can't figure out if seattle has SDV).

Same, immediately returned the card once I found that out.

Also, you can access Comcast on demand over the internet. I personally dont even need to, since if I want to watch something, I just record it (ie I record a ton of stuff)
