The S3 is supposed to support M-cards, what I heard was that despite the chip makers claims, they can't get it to work.
Nothing is really future proof and right now neither can handle SDV which is being used to deploy new HD channels around the country. They are working with the cable industry on a deice they call a "tuning resolver" which should resolve that issue.
As for the new high end TiVo, it should cost less than the S3. I'd expect it to cost about 100 to 200 more than a TiVo HD and include a bigger drive, glow remote, OLED display etc.
yeah, that's exactly what i'm worried about... unsubstantiated promises with no guarantee of technical feasibility. m-card probably isn't a deal-breaker, but sdv sure would be
looks like i'm getting my dad an S3 for christmas... but for myself i'll wait for the new high-end box

thanks for the help, ben
Will a HD Tivo with a M-card be able to receive SDV channels?
