CableCARD Overview On Ars
Tuesday, February 07 2006
ArsTechnica has a good overview of CableCARD (what it is, what's coming in the future, what's going to obsolete it). Even though there will potentially be a new technology shortly after CableCARD 2.0 (which offers 2-way communication features for capabilities like video-on-demand and pay-per-view), I still can't wait to get my hands on one of the Series 3 TiVos with CableCARD support. I'm curious, since TiVo constantly updates their software, if it will be able to support the software-only CableCARD successor when it comes out. As long as the runtime environment for the software isn't a hardware component required to be embedded in compatible devices (think secured bytecode interpreter on a chip for instance), I don't see why the Series3 couldn't support it.© Adam Sills
