So, will the adoption of cable card make the STB obsolete, or will it mean there are many more STB/PVR options than our cable operator offers us? I think it means the latter. I don't want a cable card in my TV until my TV has 1TB of storage and runs Myth. All cable card does for the consumer right now is it lets your cable opperator tell you to buy a more expensive TV to get digital cable as opposed to them footing the bill for a $300 STB for you to rent for $5/mo.
