Microsoft emancipates Digital Cable Tuners with second Media Center update today {Engadget HD}

Nov 7th 2009 6:13PM That's what the extension would do. CableCARD is essentially encrypted QAM, so the CableCARD extension + QAM tuner would decrypt the QAM signal and re-encrypt with some kind of DRM (probably done by media center I suppose)

I personally wouldn't buy a whole new tuner card to get CableCARD functionality, but I would definitely buy an extension that upgrades my current QAM tuner to have CableCARD support.

Here's an example of how that could work:

Nov 7th 2009 12:24PM So far yeah, but surely there would be a way to extend QAM tuners for CableCARD capabilities right? Such as a USB or front bay cablecard extension of some kind.

Nov 6th 2009 6:53PM HD isn't working for me. When I choose any movie or TV show, even when it says HD on it, they are all playing at 480p. I was wondering if maybe this is a connection issue, I don't have the greatest WiFi connection in my room.

Oct 21st 2009 5:44PM Season 1 and 2 were amazing, let's hope the game sticks to those and ends it at the end of season 2, with the story ending good there instead of continuing on to seasons 3 and 4 which were crap compared to 1 and 2, 4 was better than 3, which was horrible, but both suck compared to the awesomeness that was seasons 1 and 2.
