If I want Cablecard then its either Tivo or an OEM equipped PC. I've emailed <a href="http://www.niveusmedia.com/" rel="nofollow">Niveus</a> so maybe they'll be able to figure something out. @Marc: The problem with LinuxMCE is that there is Cablecard support.

In particular, check http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/gallery/video/item/9-follow-me for a video demonstration. I don't know if Crestron support is built-in, but it does support integration with other home automation systems. Pluto Home Media (an automation company) has been doing much of the work on Linux MCE, so the product was built with home automation systems in mind. Check out LinuxMCE (linuxmce.org).
