said by banditws6:...I'm quite glad that Comcast is taking their sweet time testing and deploying SDV. My hope is that by the time they get to my area -- not likely to happen for a while, since we're one of the 10% of their markets serviced by Scientific Atlanta hardware -- the SDV dongle for 1-way devices will be available.
Otherwise I guess I'd have to downgrade to a cable company DVR. That thing was terrible.
Edit: I notice at the end of the article, the author remarks that he's waiting with bated breath for Time Warner to issue him the promised "new CableCARDs" that will work with SDV. I thought that there was no "two-way CableCARD" anywhere near completion -- and even if there was, it would not work in an existing TiVo unit without a hardware upgrade! Perhaps he is talking about the aforementioned SDV "dongle."
All cable cards are 2-way capable.... But none of the hardware available is....
