Hmm....I'm in Denver, and about to buy a new TV (looking at a Samsung LN46A650), but I don't see a big benefit in getting tru2way on a larger set, when I've got a nice entertainment center to put a cable box into. Now, when they get this into a 22inch or so HDTV, that would be perfect for the bedroom, where one fewer boxes would be greatly appreciated.
That is what I always thought too. This feature would be great in a 26" and under sized TV for places like the kitchen where having a box isn't exactly convenient.
Well maybe in a few years it will get cheaper. By then, DCAS will be used instead of CableCard's. DCAS can simply download the security off the network. Cablecards are about 100 USD wholesale so yeah. Cablecards can easily be hidden. I think this will be great in Kitchen TV's and even bedroom TV's that don't need a DVR.
