I pulled this from Wikipedia...

A CableCARD version 2.0 standard has been in the works to address some of the issues with CableCARD 1.0, as well as add several new features. The new CableCARD 2.0 standard supports two way features such as Pay-per-view, Video On Demand, and advanced electronic programming guide information. CableCARD 2.0 is also supposed to allow for up to 5 channels to be tuned in at once. CableCARD version 2.0 will not be compatible with existing CableCARD 1.0 enabled products. Several DVR manufacturers have also held off on integrating CableCARD slots into their machines until the CableCARD 2.0 standard is finalized. Equipment with CableCARD 2.0 support is expected during 2006 or 2007.

Many cable providers in the United States have already begun to support CableCARD 1.0, with many saying that they also plan to support CableCARD 2.0 when the equipment becomes available. No cable providers in Canada currently support CableCARD.
