Cablecard 2.0 coming to you HDTV next year
[atmaspheric | endeavors] Cablecard delivers a superior picture (no cable box compression) and the 2.0 version will give you two-way control so you won’t need a box for VOD or enhanced services if your provider supports this function. It’s also good news for third party DVR makers like TIVO and will hopefully be the path to HDTV on HTPC’s like MCE.

Microsoft reveals Xbox 360 line-up | The Register
[The Blackfriars Blog] Microsoft said it would only confirm three titles for XBox 360's launch in Europe: Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero by Rare, a UK-based games maker owned by Microsoft, and Project Gotham Racing 3 from the game studio Blizzard Creations. Now to be fair, there are other games that are nearing completion that are being held up by ratings reviewers, but it just shows the challenge of trying to launch a new platform on an aggressive schedule to beat out a competitor.

15% of American homes have a HDTV
[HD Beat] Using analog cable I'm perfectly happy as long as it isn't the digital crap I'm getting from my cable company. I can't see anything new with HDTV, such as beads of sweat or anything with sports (not that I watch sports other than HD comparison)
