The only other device that would justfiy a cablecard would be a third party box (ie consumer-owned). That way you aren't renting the box from the cable company and you can just rent the CableCard.

Can someone explain to me the purpose of renting the BOX and the CableCard from a cable provider? Its just stupid!

I have a plasma with a CableCard. I get all my highdef, premium channels, etc. I can't get ppv because its the old standard, but the new ones WOULD be able to do that. So why get the box? ]]>Oct 18th 2007 10:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/17/time-warner-cable-deploys-150k-opencable-stbs-aka-cablecard-2-0/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/17/time-warner-cable-deploys-150k-opencable-stbs-aka-cablecard-2-0/Time Warner will not let me watch MLB Extra innings baseball on my TIVO because the cable cards they provide are not bi-directional.]]>Nov 13th 2007 5:53PM
