This is what I'm banking on. If the quality is right on, I will build a box just for DVR. Not that the capability hasn't existed for a while, but cable cards on a computer will be where it's at.It will be a LONG time before you can do this, if ever. The only way you'll be able to get a cable card in a PC is by buying a complete system. I'd be surprised if anyone is ever able to purchase just the cable card card for a PC.

I don't know, I think eventually Cablelabs will loosen up. Seems cablecard 1.0 has gotten pretty mixed results so if I was them, I'd be concerned about QC as well. If they just provide the card and let a big name like ATI worry about the rest (mind you they'd have oversight) I think they'd be ok. Of course, I've been wrong before.
