Cable Card is ONLY for QAM cable TV (digital encryped,
ie what you would get from Rogers or Shaw or Cogeco).
Look is that microwave system, right? So it's
essentially the same as satellite - Cable Card
has absolutely nothing to do with it, so you'll
need to keep your STB.
That's too bad. It would be nice to lose it. It has a card in the back just like bell's does. I don't know how cable stb works but I thought they would all work on the same principle.
HDCP is a required part of any current DVI or
HDMI interface. It does not apply elsewhere.
So it's part of the standard it just that Sonly USA doesn't bother listing it on their website.
Thanks for clearing it up.
