OTA HD [ was: [OT] HDTV recommendations? ]

[Tyler Aviss]

The ethernet-based "HDHomeRun Prime" seems pretty cool. It's got a
pretty hefty price-tag, but also has three tuners. Seems it hasn't
been officially released though, so I wonder what it'll turn out to
cost in Canada.

The usual DRM suckage though:
  Full support of CableCard requires that every device and software in
the recording chain be certified as enforcing the copy protection
mandated by the software


I wonder what kind of copy-protection these devices use...
