Well, certainly many consumers are uninterested in CableCard on the awful terms which the cable companies are offering... but I'd call that a rigged game.

| The ATI device will only be available in pre-build computers
Before anyone gets too excited about the ATI TV Wonder OCUR tuner, see this article: »www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3609
ATI's device will only be available in pre-build, pre-configured computers.
With ATI killing off the AIW line and now this, I hope other manufactures can step up to the plate affordable user installable PC cards that add cablecard support. Once they come out with the bi-directional cablecards that is.
I would also expect any cablecard tuners that do come out to be heavily loaded/locked down with DRM. |

Oh... So what kind of picture quality does a video created for an Ipod screen have when it is displayed on a 40 inch tv?  |

The Apple TV supports resolutions up to 1280x720 with a frame rate of 24fps (30fps at lower resolutions) over HDMI. iPods don't support HDMI. |

I thought the cable card was dead. Or at least it's on death row. |

Re: Dead
its only dead because cable companies made it that way. The simplicity for Cablecard is great for a second TV. I already have a cable box DVR, I just need to see all the channels on my second TV without a cluncky cable box. CableCARD is great for that. |
