Uhhh....What?
Newer and Fancier Technology in a Cable-Card Ready Set Top Box?
What on earth could that be?
All I can think of is a new version of a Tivo with extra tuners and hard drives ~ Not something that I'm interested in anyway, since I'm using BTV...
I mean, come on...
It's not like the cable companies are gonna keep switching to diffrent compression techniques every couple of months...
Or am I missing something?
