It Happens
Watch TV from anywhere in your home! Even the porch out front, when you can't find your house key!
So imagine, if you will, that today is the day of the big game. Or imagine, perhaps, that instead of the big game, it's the series finale of that superhero show you've been following all year. Or imagine this is the episode where Lady Diane finally chooses between Lord Dunboop and Duke Forthwell. And with one of these in mind, imagine that you arrive home, reach for the doorknob... and discover you left your house key back at work. We've all been there, right?
See, if you had one of theseSiliconDust CableCards, you'd be fine! You could just fire up the ol' laptop and sit quietly on a corner of the porch, connect to your TV, and watch everything in real time. You won't have to wait until your show time-shifts or web-streams or whatever. You can lie on your belly, or on the grass, or on top of the roof, or anything!
Of course, after the show is over, you'll still have to break a window to get back inside your house. But at least you'll be breaking that window with the knowledge that nobody can give you any spoilers. Remember: if you control information, you control the world.
