Well, in Time Warner's defence, Anandtech was a little dumb, there.
Anyone who's read about CableCard knows that the card and device are married,
so sticking the card in one of their TVs and then moving it to a PC is a dumb
thing to do. After that, it was just signal strength issues, which anyone
with a PVR-500 can relate to. <br>
<br>
Frankly, I'm impressed how well it worked once they got through those
issues. It's impressive to see how well it all came together. It
sucks Myth will likely never be able to leverage CableCard...<br>
