Nice! Looks like they have addressed the content issue by making a black box device, maybe with some form of hardware encryption included. It says it requires Vista, maybe for the DRM features. It will not be hackproof (duh), but it will probably make it hard enough to hack that most people will not bother. I can't wait to get my hands on one. I just want to be able to watch on my PC again.
