I buy windows to operate the equipment that I WANT IT TO OPERATE.

I know this isn't MS's fault, but I sure hope they make the DRM stuff super easy hackable and then never update it. I could see this happening.]]>Jan 12th 2007 12:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/Jan 12th 2007 11:49AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/
But if you want to burn DVD copies and give them out to all your friends, or convert them to DIVX and upload them to the U-Tubes... yeah sorry there chief... Some times things cost money. Shocking I know.

The only real problem I have is the clunky use of USB. The internal tuners only use the PCI slot as an anchor... What the hell? Not to mention, I haven't seen one with 2 tuners (or more...) or heard if you can use 2 of the tuners in the same box..

Personally I'm going to continue using my Motorola DVR, as painful as it is.... and wait for the dual-tuner cards, with hopefully multi-stream CC support.

The clunky use of USB is far from your only real problem, chief.]]>Jan 12th 2007 3:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/Jan 12th 2007 9:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/Jan 12th 2007 8:52PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/Jan 12th 2007 10:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/12/microsofts-cablecard-drm/Ben said the current MCE cannot record HD "CABLE" channels, which is correct. Can you answer my question as to whether Vista will be able to record QAM channels from a HD tuner card (like the Fusion) or from an network tuner (like the HDHomeRun)? And if I manually map the QAM channels on these devices, will they stay mapped?]]>Jan 13th 2007 4:08AM
