In case you weren't confused enough... here come cable cards!

I feel bad for any consumer currently in the market for a television. Currently they have to decipher the terms: analog, digital, enhanced definition, high definition, plasma, LCD, DLP, flat screen, etc. And once you have all those terms figured out, now comes the idea of a cable card. The New York Times has a great article on the impending requirement for CE manufactures to offer cable card ready TVs. Now all CE retailers have to do is to get consumers to understand that utilizing the new cable card technology will mean that most of the advanced features offered by cable companies won't available.
