Re: CableCard is not the way

hey, if the cable co wants to buy me a TV that works with m-cards, then great, I'll gladly switch from cable card. But today the fact remains that cableCARD is the only way to avoid bulky cable boxes in secondary TV locations like the bedroom. There will be some major outrage if they break CableCARD.

Um, since when is an M card not a cable card? It's a cable card with multiple streams. A cable card is a cable card.

Yes all 100000 of them. cable cos need to improve their service and not worry about TIVo or other third parties.

You missed the point. You're calling one thing a cable card and another an M card. They are both the SAME THING.

If you are going to use terms, please use them correctly.

There is a (S)ingle stream cable card and a (M)ulti Stream Cable Card... but they are BOTH cable cards.

tv sets today that have cablecard won't be compatible with newer m-stream cards....I guarantee. that's the way technology works. They will make you buy a new set to use the new cards.
