Nothing American that's for sure. Cablecard did better in the UK than it did in the states.

By definition there has to be one if it supports it.

What do you mean by that? Do people over there prefer sattelite/aerial for some reason? Or do they just not watch much TV?

That wastes a ton of power. Who pays your electric bill?
Also you realize that you can record content while the tv is off right?

It's the only brand of cards that works with most encrypted channels on most providers when setup properly.

Ugh....all of them? Almost any modern system can do that with an appropriate cablecard added.
Just build one yourself.
