Wow, this is actually brillianty devious. All of the cable co's are rolling out switched video to increase HD bandwidth. For SDV you need CableCard 2.0 (i.e. for more HD channels you need it). CableCard 2.0 basically kills Tivo and Media Center through OCAP. So the Cable Co's meet the FCC regs and can gain complete control again. Brilliant.

I would be shocked if the FCC steps in. No one actually cares about the consumer. It does open satellite to be a potential nerd haven though.
