It's actually a fairly straightforward concept. The only part of the equation that will take getting used to is accepting the fact that you'll have to buy a barebones, certified by CableLabs, CableCARD ready Viiv/Vista MCE PC from an OEM (i.e. Dell, Gateway, HP), which no doubt will become a commodity not to long after these types of PCs start hitting the market."</i><br /><br />Alexander Grundner has put together a short post about how he thinks it will be possible to get a CableCARD-based PC put together. At this point, CableCARD is still too "pie in the sky" for me - I have no idea if my local cable provider plans to support it, when, or how. It's definitely something I'm watching, but I'm not in full planning mode like Alexander is. ;-)
