MCE 2005 brought us OTA HD, but that’s not enough for some people. We want full Cable/Satellite HDTV support inside of Media Center. We know that Media Center will support CableCARD’s at some point, you can hear that directly from Bill Gates in The Engadget Interview with Gates. In fact, Gates sounded kind of dumbfounded when asked about CableCARD and Media Center. CableCARD's are seen as the way to bring premium content into our PC's."</i><br /><br />Chris Lanier brings up some interesting ideas regarding why we won't see better HDTV support in MCE for a while. Like most things, it comes down to DRM. :evil:
