No linux support

There is no, and never will be any linux support for cable cards, because, bluntly, the technology is controlled by the megacorps. The only PC that can use a cable card is a 'secured os', because they don't want you to have the right to record a digital stream. The Vista PC's 'can' record shows, but the shows are crippled and can't be recorded to DVD.

Once they have an open source driver for the cable card, then I'd consider using it, otherwise, I'm perfectly happy to record my shows via OTA transmissions, which for the moment at least, are broadcast in the clear.
