Will DirecTV’s HD tuner debut with Windows 7?

It’s been almost three years since DirecTV announced its intentions to release a digital tuner that would allow Windows Media Center PCs to receive, record, and play back high-definition satellite programming.

Since then, the DirecTV tuner has become almost as mythical as Bigfoot or Nessie.

So imagine my surprise when I found a signed device driver for the DirecTV HDPC-20 in the pre-beta release of Windows 7 given to attendees at PDC.

Details over at ZDNet.

    Hmmm….. a Windows 7 beta in December and possible tuner unveiled in January with CES is my guess.
