THAT is a hell of a deal for a TV with CableCard. I simply don't understand the price delta between non-ATSC TVs and ATSC TVs. The tuner portion can't cost more than $75 and probably costs less. I suppose it's just "charge what you can while you can". As good as that deal is, the $899 for the Viewsonic 32" I linked to plus $150 for an external tuner is still a huge savings considering the OP doesn't and won't have cable.
