 | said by baineschile:Cablecards are a short-lived technology bump between digital boxes, and tru-2way. They are wortheless, unless one has a Tivo. Cablecards are needed and a part of tru2way. CableLabs won't have a replacement (DCAS) ready for prime time for at least several years. They're also REQUIRED by FCC regulation for cable boxes.
So they're neither worthless or short-lived. |
