Too bad the whole cable card implementation got shot down before it even really took off. Reminds me of the IEEE1394 link that was supposed to let us record all our HD, with mostly reasonable (5C) copy protection along the way.]]>Apr 15th 2008 7:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/Apr 15th 2008 6:39PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/ Was there really no alternative? What about the bandwith dedicated to providing 6-10 versions of Premium stations? As cable customers now record programs for viewing at their convenience, having the exact same programing on 10 stations only appears to provide more choice.
For decades, the cable companies have fought and delayed implementing every FCC regulation designed to improve cable services and lower the costs to consumers. The use of a cablecard not only freed cable customers from the necessity of having a set-top box, it would have freed customers from the necessity of renting a set-top box from their cable provider.
Clearly competition in this area would have been beneficial for consumers. ]]>Apr 16th 2008 9:22PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/15/most-cablecard-enabled-hdtvs-wont-ever-support-sdv/
I will definitly buy a tru2way equipped set as soon as they are available to replace my analog sets.]]>Apr 19th 2008 11:12PM
