Cable HDTV in Windows Media Center?

Published January 11, 2005

This little paragraph was dropped in casually in the middle of a write-up on the new Shuttle Media Center XPC at AnandTech:

The XPC is obviously designed for a more set-top applications and thus will also feature a cable card reader as well as HDTV output. The next version of Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition due out in Q3 will support cable card and content protected HDTV content over digital cable services, making this device actually useful from a HDTV standpoint.

Kudos to Jason Dunn at Digital Media Thoughts for catching this one. Is it true? Ah, that’s another story, isn’t it?
