Whoa... I was just going through all the email about the lack of success
in the US w/ DirectTV and CableCard attempts to get full digital streams

What providers allow this sort of thing, is it universal or only some
digital cable companies supporting it. Have people had similar
experiences w/ satellite?
Thanks!
Paul
