Anandtech plays with the toy we all covet: ATI’s OCUR
See, when you're one of the biggest hardware sites, you can have access to some of the most guarded items this side of the Mona Lisa. Of course, they couldn't test with just the OCUR device, so Dell was kind enough to send them a box. If you're interested in Cable Card, they've got some nice information, including that there's even an activation key for the device. The more I hear about this, the less I believe we're even close to this coming to a BYOPC user.
