Re: Series 3 has lots of good features

said by Nightfall See Profile :

The only thing I hope is that some of these cable and satellite companies actually SELL the cards. Look at computer built Tivos like Windows XP Media Center. They have been waiting and waiting for cable or satellite cards to no avail.

Why don't the cable and satellite companies start SELLING their cards so things like this Tivo become a reality?
You are confused. Cable cards are not PC cards. CableCARD is a PCMCIA Type II card (like the cards you put into laptops for network or wireless access) that serves as an interface between third party tuners and the cable company.

Ask the PC tunner card manucafturers when they are goin to make a Cablecard compatable digital cable tunner card for a PC.

I was talking about both to be honest, but thanks for the clarification.

They're coming, but won't be usable until Windows Vista. Forget about CableCard with MythTV until hackers crack it like they did DVD.
