The only problem I have with this is that my local cable isn't that good & I have a Mac computer. It would probably be a niche market,but it would be nice if DIRECTV would come out with a receiver patterned like these CableCARD tuners. Something that offers more than their NOMAD right now.
 
I believe there are not too many left that still have interest in the computer-as-a-receiver topic.
Being it satellite or cable, its history is littered with broken promises.

The first generation CableCard was harder to setup than hack Dish and get all the programming for free.
The second generation was too little too late, I think.

The fact that this is a pure North American phenomenon - running sat cards with CAMs in PCs
in Europe is not a crime - and the growing popularity of OTA, makes CableCard on PC practically a dead end, I think.
