I am wondering about the cost of this card. I am thinking it may be prohibitively expensive which would suck. I mean, I already own set top boxes and am not going to dish out hundreds for a card....

Nice find, I'll sign up for DirecTv as soon as a Windows Media Center DTV card is available. Now, I'm part of the 13% of people that ONLY have OTA.

Seriously, how hard is this to do? We don't want to pirate anything; we just want to have the awesome one-stop-shop for media instead of having to keep flipping inputs from HTPC to DirecTV receiver. Some of us have wives that don't handle this well. One place to do it all would be so wonderful.

The DirecTV card technology isn't that hard. The hardest part is the satellite, and it's been in the sky for years. Just move the tuners and card interface from the STB to a PC. It's a smartcard, and smartcard readers exist. Give us a $50-$100 reader to buy to unlock our stations GIVE US SOME SATISFACTION!

Media Center support for DirecTV and other SATs in the works

More interesting in the context that at least a few people just this minute got renewed MCE beta surveys in their email.

YES!!! This would easily be the most exciting thing to happen to the media center universe in years. This would the thing that keeps me hooked on the Media Center/XBOX 360 platform because lately I've been fed up with the IR port hassle that I have to go through now, including slow channel changing and channel changes not even registering at times.

A new, quieter XBOX 360 Model in 08 or 09 coupled with the media center update and satellite tuners would be a dream come true for me. MS, please make this happen, and drop us a dime at CES, will ya...

Wow!

So now when H.264 is starting to be used in the US maybe we Europeans can finally get support for it.

If nothing happens soon, a lot of users will abandon the product!

Let's hope for the rumoured 2008 update!
