No PPV Access No Interactive Program Guide No Interactivity features (Voting etc..) No unified interface. (Interface is different accross different TVs). TV firmware very clunky. One-way cable communication. If they can fix it, maybe there would be more features. The current generation of CableCards lack so many features one might as well just use analog cable.

I use none of these and would prefer they not take up space on the menus in my STB. quote: No unified interface. (Interface is different accross different TVs). This is one of the benefits. Instead of being tied to a clunky obsolete User Interface on the single STB you now are forced to use you get a choice. Maybe this will even encourage SA and Motorola to build a less buggy box with a better UI since they are not guaranteed a market for their boxes any more.
