I wish companies like Ceton and ATI. Make exactly what we wanted, and the cable industry would conform.

With that said, I think Ceton's Technology has the first chance of being a retail product... However, only time will tell and the industry moves sloooow...

Too many people have to agree, before anything happens...

This will never work with Sage until they use a trusted platform where DRM is capable.]]>Jan 9th 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/09/centon-corp-announces-multi-stream-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-m/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/09/centon-corp-announces-multi-stream-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-m/Jan 9th 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/09/centon-corp-announces-multi-stream-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-m/http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/09/centon-corp-announces-multi-stream-cablecard-tuner-for-windows-m/

I know that the feds said "hey, you can't force people to use YOUR box" to the cable companies, but it sure doesn't feel that way!

Options:

Buy a TiVo HD - $600 for the version that still has less capacity than my VMC DVR.
Use the cable Co's DVR - $free, but only one tuner and only 20 hours capacity (pathetic)

Either way, I'm stuck with a very nice VMC PC that'd have nothing to do :(

It's driving me completely insane how the media companies (cable labs, blu-ray group) are so paranoid about people stealing their content, that those of us who would like to pay for and legitimately consume their content cannot do so!

I think the trend of online music retailers like iTunes, Amazon Music and Wal-Mart MP3 shows that is the case. Since all the hackers figured out LONG AGO how to circumvent the various DRM methods, they gave up and just sold it to people that were still willing to pay for it.

Someday I hold out hope that CableLabs will pull their heads out of their butts and realize they aren't protecting anyone but OEMs with these rediculous rules... that and making the case for many of us -- who can't affordably get any of our non-local HD stations on cable -- to switch to IPTV or Satellite.]]>Mar 15th 2009 3:52AM
