Media Center card updates?

[Kash76]

Is there any news on the Vista Media Center DTV tuner cards that have been talked about the last year or two?

I searched here but didn't find anything.

Thanks.

AT CES in January, both DISH and DIRECTV talked about how hard it is to get the Microsoft engineering to finish the DRM portions for their cards. They are both working, but no timeline they could mention.

Now, I got "hopeful smiles" when I mentioned "by CES in 2008". Perhaps?

Cheers,
Tom

Either that or a way for me to share shows between my DVR's over my network would be nice!

http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/ad/whistling.gifAw, c'mon, Tom. You know you want to. You're lip is going to get pretty bloody if you don't bludgeon someone once it a while.

As for the Microsoft DRM, that's not particularly promising. Given how little time it took casual hackers to start generating valid Vista codes, I don't think Hollywood is going to buy any more of Microsoft's security hooey.
