Microsoft and Cablelabs Agree on Cablecard Integration into Windows Media Centre
Categories: Big Media Makes Progress, Digital TV, Milestones
Microsoft and CableLabs have announced an agreement to bring CableCard access to the PC, along with the ability to share it with connected devices (like the Xbox 360).
Dale's Comment: This will, of course, only work in jurisdictions where cable providers use cable-card technology in their headends. While required of all major cable companies in the U.S., Canada does not yet (nor will it ever likely) mandate such cable-card compatibility.
