CableCARD on PC

I got to touch this ATI box which provides add-on CableCARD functionality, presumably for Vista PCs. Unfortunately, there was no one around to speak with about it… Which is probably OK, since the majority of folks I’ve had questions for have been unable to address the more technical stuff. (Frustrating!)

The device is about the size of a hard cover novel and has jacks on both the top (?) and back. The translucent plastic piece sticking up can be slid down and closed, but I kept it raised to photograph the CableCARD slot. The box was pretty light, but I’m not sure if it’s real or just a display model. If I ever find their booth again, I’ll try to get more info.
