Isn't it a little odd to be happy about the existance of hardware to support new DRM schemes?
I mean, doesn't anyone else find it quirky that we have the DRM foisted on us and then we can't get products that work with it?

The price is freaking ridiculous. They would sell more units and gross a higher profit if they cut the price. I wouldn’t pay more then a $2,000 to have a CableCARD system in my hands right now. Until then I will be waiting. Some companies are just too stupid on their prices. People wont pay $5,000 for a setu. Look at the TiVo Series3. People wont even pay $700 for that!

QAM (digital cable) is not a "new DRM scheme" it's been around for about 10 years, and CableCard for at least 5 years. Sorry to break it to you there chief.
Have to agree with the complaints on price though. Even the cheaper systems posted earlier clock in at $1700-2000. Why in the hell would anyone spend that when you can get a Tivo S3 for under $800?
Give me just enough CPU+RAM to do MPEG2 and AVC at 1920x1080/60p in a nice quiet HTPC case, with expandable HDD(s) for under 1 grand and I'm way sold.
