Hi David,
I'm sure you will find some people on this list are aware of a
cablecard/pci card being developed (I'd be very surprised if there
isn't).

Like I said I have some people who are interested in funding this
development.

I look forward to your emails.


Dean

Until someone decides to make a PCI card with a Cablecard slot, I can't
see
how this possibly "improves the future of MythTV".  The chances of that
happening seem slim to none in general, and almost certainly none once
the
broadcast flag ruling is in place.  And yes, the broadcast flag still
has
relevance to cable in some cases, as far as I understand it.
