*ALL* CableCARDs are capable of two-way communication, always have been. And the CableCARD 2.0 host specification fully supports SDV - and PPV, VOD, etc.
What determines if it works in the host device, not the card. TiVo, and basically all consumer CableCARD devices, are UDCPs - Unidirection Digital Cable Products. The main disagreement is that to do bi-directional you need to do CC2.0 with means OCAP - which means giving control of your UI and functionality to the cable company. That doesn't sit well with companies like TiVo, whose business is based around their software and UI. So there is an impasse currently between the cable industry and the CE industry.
This 'Tuning Resolver' would give UDCPs access to SDV content.
My biggest complaint with the Tivo HD models besides the laughable subscription is lack of a firewire port for archiving high definition to computer and/or D-VHS.
