This whole cablecard thing is one big joke if you asked me. If you want to pay for Tivo services, be my guest... But I'm not going to pay them jack... I want to build my own HTPC with Vista (which I already have up and running)... But with their decision to FORCE you to buy the CableCARD HD cable tuners WITH a new PC, they can all go to hell.
I'm waiting for the DirecTV version, which will sell as a stand alone PCI or USB tuner... and WON'T require you to buy an entire new machine bundled with the capture cards like the cable solutions do... what a joke.
