No, there has been no additional definitive details.

Haven't heard anything out of CES which is discouraging. The NFL SUNDAY TICKET and the hope that this card will be available in the future are the only things that keep me sane using the HR20.

No official news from CES, but both dish and directv reported similar things:
1) they are working on their cards
2) they need Microsoft support for the DRM
3) DRM approval needs to come from the copyright holders.

D* did tell me they hope for internal testing early in this year.

Cheers,
