I see that now. But if we are talking about basic level service,
i.e. broadcast channels, I wonder why Comcast would apply DRM to
them. It is not saving them from rolling out trucks. Are they going
to collect a fee from manufacturers? Are comcast being required to
do this by the broadcast channels or somebody else? It seems this
interface replaces the firewire which never had DRM and allows
access to not only basic but also encrypted cable channels, in fact
all of the channels that the DTA's can get. I thought Comcast were
in favor of helping the users of mythtv and similar systems.<br>
