:said by RemyM :July 2009 is when all new boxes CV provides will be CableCard boxes. By then there could be a bigger market of boxes to buy. Of course if you buy your own box you can't just swap it out for free when it dies.
But will they be able to receive all the channels? There is a problem currently with CableCards in that they are unable to receive channels that are send-on-request (I forget the buzzword) which are only sent IF/WHEN you tune to it and are only sent to nodes where someone is watching that channel.
Of course they will. The M cards are two way. The current limitation on CV is the hardware they are put into. The SA CableCard boxes that other providers are using work fine with SDV.
