Hasn't Cable Card, or whatever it is called now, already destroyed its credibility with consumers? I remember when my parents wanted to buy an LG television with a built in cable card and DVR a year ago. I talked them out of it, thank God. Why would anyone buy a device with this crap in it?
No more consumer adoption for you, changing standard b-stards.
I have two CableCard TVs at my house and my father has two at his house. Charter charges $2 a month for CableCard and $10 a month for an HD box. SDV is not used so I get all the HD channels. My newest TV even has TV Guide On Screen. It is better to have a TV with a CableCard slot even if it is not used yet. You aren't locked in to having to rent a cable box. .
