Sitting here in the Albuquerque airport I was reading through a copy of Sound&Vision and one of the articles was on the new CableCARDs available for HD turning for cable.
I've never heard of these before and I was wondering if anybody here was using it. It sounds pretty cool as you no longer need a box to receive HD signals but also sounded like a bust because it only allows communication from the Cable Co. to the TV and not vice versa. Apparently that means that you can't get Video On Demand or the Channel Guide services.
Other than those two drawbacks from what I've read it could be a real winner.
