Media center with vista should be pretty close to the "whole house" solution with cablecard. I read the chat transcript from the media center beta a few weeks ago and cc 2.0 was brought up and it was more or less said the ocur devices right now were only going to be c 1.0 compatable.
Personally I want to see microsoft add a ocur capable server (vista server with 4 or 5 cablecard slots or 2 or 3 cc 2.0 slots) with media center extender support where you can get a server and 4 or 5 extenders at your tv's and have your tv streamed out like that.
It really wouldnt be that much work (most of the functionality is already there)
