Re: Does anyone use these? said by aaronwt:said by Spatch:I have recently switched back to Comcast after a couple of years of satellite. I have a media center pc that does not receive all channels. I see it installed into a pc in the pic. Would this allow reception of all the channels on my media center pc? I have never heard of this. I use eight cable cards with FIOS. When I had Comcast I was using six cable cards with them. For the PC you need to get this. » gizmodo.com/5357722/cetons-cable···one-slotIt can handle up to six tuners with one multistream cable card. They will be out early next year and will be in high demand. That is so cool! I hope someone will have Linux drivers! |

Not going to happen. Linux would need some changes and DRM support for CableCard. Plus they would have to get it certified. However, Broadcom devices run Linux and they're certified but they're embedded STB's that run some mixture of proprietary and Open Source software. |

kudos:1 | Actually they should reverse engineer a linux STB that uses a BCM chip. They might be able to work it out. Though mythtv and other Linux HTPC software developers have no interest in adding CC support. |

kudos:1 | As long as they make it secure and not break the cableco encryption then it should be fine. |
