Lol – my sentiments exactly when I met with Cablelabs and they point blank said they wouldn’t provide me the development api’s for my www.cognation.net/cablecard3 project.

 

Basically even things like serial ports they wanted nailed down forget about linux as an OS.

 

My answer to them was fine, F#&* yourselves and I’ll build something in a few years time once we no longer use cable as the medium. Since then I’ve been working with Akimbo and a few other similar companies to encourage this ip delivered video and once Cablelabs are nothing but an historic memory I’ll try again.

 

 

Cheers,

you won't be able to license use of cablecards without "proven" DRM which is
why only Vista will support it (cause MS paid enough money to convince them
Vista has solid DRM support).
