Write a haiku to win a Home Server

Actually, there's enough legit and semi-legit ways to get cable card tuners installed without having to buy a full cable card system. Apparently quite a few manufacturers like, oh say Asus released motherboards with ocur equipped BIOSes. So, some very, very basic hardware hacks OR just running a software utility after booting Windows allows a fully functional install. This all developed in the last 6 months and I have to think thats partially why Cable labs gave up. Once it was out in the wild they lost all control. Check the Green Button for more details. I haven't been following it that closely but the game has really changed in the last few months.

oh yea I remember hearing about that.

If somebody would release an alternative to the ATI tuner, maybe one that can handle multiple streams, I might have to give Charter a call

I'm not sure about the multiple streams part but I believe part of this recent change was designed to allow more open access to vendors wishing to make tuners. ATI\AMD had that game to themselves for way too long. Frankly, this whole system is so DRM heavy is gonna be tough to loosen the restrictions I think.
