Submission + - n End To Unencrypted Digital Cable TV and the HTPC
Talinom writes: AnandTech has a writeup on how ClearQAM appears to be headed for an early death. From the article — "At this point there's no reason to believe that cable companies won't deploy Privacy Mode across their networks, so it's a matter of "when", not "if" this will happen. It goes without saying that if you're currently enjoying the use of a ClearQAM tuner to receive EB tier channels, you'll want to enjoy what time you have left, and look in to other solutions for the long-haul. At this pace, it looks like cable TV and computers will soon be divorcing."
