BTW. I had to chuckle at your gripe. I had the exact same reaction, however I knew the limitation before I bought the HDTV Wonder. Incidentally I left my analog tuner in the case because I thought I had to. I was upset because I wanted the space for another card. One night while I was fiddling inside the case I accidentally tore off a cicuit mount capacitor on the analog tuner and thought "Oh crap, it might screw up the digital tuner!", but I just yanked it out and the HDTV Wonder kept on chuggin. The only thing is though, is that if you want to change TV settings in the Settings menu it scans for the analog tuner and will not let you make changes if it is not found. So if I want to make a change I just put it back in and everything is OK (even though I probably ruined the analog tuner-I never tried to test it)]]>Nov 30th 2005 5:34AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/Nov 30th 2005 7:06AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/Nov 30th 2005 8:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/Nov 30th 2005 8:26AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/Nov 30th 2005 8:41AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/
Personally, I'm thinking of retrofitting my home desktop computer with BeyondTV4 and an HD card. I don't need any of the other media features and I'm not streaming to an Xbox. BTV seems very polished, though it doesn't support QAM from what I've been told.]]>Nov 30th 2005 8:53AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/11/29/sub-grand-wmce-4/

Here is the other blog I was talking abuot, it's a great idea, but i haven't taken the time to figure it out. I think would be a great addition to this series!

Thanks for the info on that. But from what I've read, the agreement to get HD cable content on WMCE is for CableCard 1.0, which TiVo is passing up because TiVo is convinced the consumer will want VOD/PPV and other interactive features that will only be available with the CableCard 2.0 standard once its actually finalized.

I also did not think for a moment that the Firewire pass-through would be officially supported in WMCE considering the "piracy" implications. That would be similar to expecting TiVo to officially endorse the terrific *DirectShow Dump* program, or Apple recommending Project Hymn. :)
