Long post over on AVS but some really great info about cable card and PC's. Developer from Velecity PC interacts with everyone and gives out some really good info about how Cable Cards work. It's pretty much a must read for anyone that is/was interested in a using one, even if you're not talking HTPC. It affects all Cable Card devices (TV's, Tivo series 3, etc)
Nutshell. Cable companies are implimenting "Switch Video" which won't work with Cable Card 1.0, which is all we have out there right now. And Cable Card 2.0 won't help us much (for many reasons).
I'm so pissed... I've been counting the days till I could get a Cable Card HTPC and now it's just not worth it.
Here's to hoping for IPTV...
