The problem

Cablecard technology is GREAT for 2nd, 3rd, 4th TVs in the house when cable goes all digital and subscribers don't want to pay for 3+ boxes. It's not gonna supplant the box in a one TV household with on-demand and DVR being so popular. The problem is that the 13, 19, 23 inch "secondary" TVs that you might have in obscure locations in the house don't have slots built in. Manufacturers only include these in larger sets which end up being the primary TV for consumers who would rather use the set top enabled services. The technology isn't being implemented properly for success....yet. I have one large TV (digital cable box) and 2 smaller TVs (analog - kitchen, bedroom) in my house. If/when small digital TVs become affordable, I'd sure as he** use two cable cards over two set-top boxes for the replacements, if the slot is built-in.
