This is the second review of a Vista cable card review that I have read. And both have been disasters. The folks over at AnandTech had a review that was errily similar. Come on, how difficult can this be? Cable companies would of course rather rent you their boxes. Also seems to to me that they are draging their feet on DCAS, or software downloadable access. These cable cards shouldn't even be necessary, access and content can be delivered with software downloaded to box/computer. When that happens we should be able to assemble one of these babies together ourselves. I know the wait is agonizingly taking forever. The fact that Mr. Softy sent out the army is encouraging, I hope, in that Microsoft really wants this to take off. The question is when??
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I was referring to scottstrash's comment on his problems with MCE.
