Oh, great, as if PCs full of spyware aren't bad enough.
Do cable boxes have spyware problems? You would do this with signed
code and a crypto provider.
You have basically three choices:
1) cable card as-is, you get the features the TV has
2) cable box - they control the horizontal, they control the vertical
3) tv with a targetable platform - can get new features as they become
available from your service provider or 3rd parties.
Which gives you, correspondingly:
1) no new features
2) new features, no control
3) new features, your control
Did I miss any?
