While the FCC is struggling as to how to regulate IPTV, I do not think
that they will require support of CableCards.  It is more likely that
MSOs will support DLNA streaming.

In any case, my guess is that all of the proposed alternatives will come
with various forms of DRM (in the DLNA standards for protected streaming
DTCP-IP is required and WMDRM-ND is optional), which MythTV cannot
participate in.
