I pretty sure we will have to wait till Longhorn.<br /><br />At least we have our extenders later this year. I have had a few Microsoft guests on the show and non would comment on HDTV time frames.

What you'd also need is a tuner card that implements QAM/cable card. Does anyone know of such a card being imminent?<br />The usual suspects, Hauppauge, ATI, etc., haven't given even the slightest indication that they're ready to release such a card.

Nor has anyone tried to correct or lead me to think differently. :-) I based my theory off of publicly released information that has either appeared on my blog at some point or that can be found via Google.<br /><br />Of course, I want Ed to be right!! As I’m sure you will agree, Thomas, Cable HDV support is a must for Media Center to be a player in the market. Seeing the word "CableCARD" on the Release Notes for the update would make my day, week, and maybe even year!<br /><br />=) I can honestly say that no one inside of Microsoft has led me to believe anything about additional HDTV support in Media Center.
