OK if it really is just a PCMCIA slot, why can't they push a firmware upgrade to your TV to support the new features of the new cards. It would have to be manufacturer specific updates of course, so a simple RS-232 port on the back of the set, or drop a file onto the root of a firewire HD and plug into the set etc.
Oh let me guess, the picture you have of the card means its only a PCMCIA type I or II, the new stuff must have Cardbus as well.
