The folks over a Gizmodo attended a CableCARD media center demonstration at the Niveus Headquarters last week. From the article:
We got a chance to visit the Niveus headquarters last week, and the founders gave us a nice hands-on with their upcoming CableCARD-capable systems. If you’re not familiar with these media centers, they’re essentially Windows Vista machines with an external receiver that handle high-def feeds from your cable provider.
Gizmodo has a video of the demonstration which nicely shows off Vista Media Center. The interface is very impressive though I still think the price of a Niveus CableCARD is insanely expensive at over $1500 just fot the Digital Cable Tuner.
