So you exclaim how the cable cards are supposed to remove the need for a box, yet complain that it doesn't work in your tivo box. Oh the irony.

The new multistream cards are supposed to be 2 way. However, I don't know if any MSO has enabled that feature.
ALL cable cards are 2 way.... But there is no Equipment that takes cable cards that is two way.... It is a Equipment limitation, not a cable card limitation....

If by "equipment limitation," you mean "CableLabs limitation," you are correct. CableLabs refuses to allow two way boxes to run the software of the vendor or customer's choice. Were that not the case, TiVo's S3 could have been two way from day one. They even forbid UDCPs from having the hardware needed to do two way in the future from being in there, hence the need for an external box for the box.

At least it's USB..

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.
