What is the difference between the Ceton InfiniTV and Hauppauge 2250 ?

The Ceton canuse a cable card I see... but what is the advantage / disadvantage of not having a cable card?

I see some people mentioning running both why would someone do this if they are both TV Tuner cards ?

There's a pretty big difference actually. For one, InfiniTV is a CableCARD tuner, as you mentioned. So it let's you watch and record the hundreds of encrypted cable channels available on a cable service, including premium channels like HBO. The Hauppauge only supports ATSC (over the air broadcast) or clear QAM (unencrypted cable) channels.

Second, InfiniTV is a quad tuner vs. the dual-tuner 2250. So you can watch and record up to 4 HD shows with each InfiniTV device. You can also have 2 or 3 InfiniTVs on 1 PC, for a total of 8 or 12 tuners.
