Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isnt this like evaluating which brand of leaded gasoline is best? Cablecard was obsolete the day that cable companies started having their arm twisted to hand them out. They are already working on the next standard to screw over all but the super-rich, so just hold on for tru2way or whatever.
Tru2way will actually be using CableCARDs for authorization, so it's not like CableCARD is going anywhere. The differences are in the CableCARD host device - and until deployment of tru2way spans out beyond the two current locations (Denver and Chicago, IIRC), it's not like there's going to be a lot of hardware supporting it. Even then, I think it'll be awhile.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
