There was some discussion of this very machine/company on this list a  
while back. I think the conclusion was that there is a vast  
difference between the technical ability to interface with the card  
and the legal/licensing ability to actually use it. I believe they  
referred to CableCard in the future tense.

They do seem to have some interesting hardware that might well be of  
use for Myth systems. Check the archives for the past discussion.
