WOW!  Very cool, Mario!  Congratulations.

By chance, does this agreement includes the forthcoming Tru2way
standard as well?  I don't know of any PC tuners planned for Tru2way,
but I assume they will appear eventually - perhaps called BOCRs (see

brief discussion).

Off to see about a cablecard tuner...
