Red face Please educate a DVB-C n00b

Hi there,

I'm a Time Warner Digital Cable user. I see that DVB-C is now supported in Sage, but in searching I can't seem to find out what this actually means to me. I haven't noticed any difference since upgrading, so, I'm hoping someone can clue me in to what I might be missing out on!

<laughs>

Thanks!

It means nothing to you. ;-) DVB-C is non US cable. In the US we use a different standard.

PS DVB-C also has a smartcard for authorization, but you can record everything that comes in completely in the clear. Same for DVB-S (satellite). Only us in the us have to suffer with the cablecard DRM issue...

Thanks,
Mike

Well that explains a lot. <chuckle> I was hoping it was a step in the right direction for us and DRM joys. Oh well!

Thanks Mike, appreciate the reply.
