I bought a CableCARD capable TV recently, even though I have an HD DVR, and a SD DVR through the cable company (which are replacements for ReplayTVs, unfortunately). The main reason for the CableCARD TV was look. Without a cable box I can put a plasma TV on a wall, plug in the coax cable, and be up and running. From that perspective, CableCARD is pretty cool. True, you lose the guide, VOD, PPV, etc. I guess I'm okay with that, because I knew that going in. And I don't use VOD and PPV much (I do miss the nav guide). I only watch a dozen channels or so, so it's not that hard to add them to my favorites and check them all when I want to watch something.

If ReplayTV were to come out with an HD model with two tuners, I could see many customers...
