it's a shame cablelabs has to screw things up so much with their insistance on tight DRM. This could really move the industry (the HTPC industry that is) forward in a big way. How cool would it be to have one HTPC with 4 HD tuners to feed all the tv's in your house? That's the future and it should be here now. I wonder if any of this will change now that the some of the original DRM stalwarts (microsoft, apple, etc) are starting to turn away from DRM. It would be nice to be able to pay for the signal and use it how we wish rather than pay for the right to watch the signal. Owell, maybe it'll happen.
