According to Windows Media Center blogger Chris Lanier, a new OCUR CableCARD firmware update is coming soon that will enable support for cable company switched digital video broadcasts via tuning adapter hardware. There will also be an additional change that allows for “less DRM on non-flagged CableCard recordings.” So expect this to be one of the positives for MediaCenter fans coming out next week at CEDIA. Kudos to Ben Drawbaugh of EngadgetHD for calling this one early on.

Kudos to Ben indeed. New we just need some more of his predictions to come true. All I want for Christmas is a multi-stream Ceton/ATI tuner!
