Speaking of two-way M-Cards, OCAP v.1.0 is coming that would presumably use 
them....trials start later this year at various cable MSOs.
 
So, of course, it's time to add the stuff that didn't get into v.1.0 (and never 
went anywhere in v.2.0---don't ask):

OCAP v.1.1 will reportedly add Caller ID display on DTV, Mobile Phone 
cross-links, Multi-Room DVR (networking), IPTV and Switched Digital Video (aka 
switched broadcast) that is needed for greatly expanded HD service. 
 
That begs the question as to whether these nifty new features are a couple 
years away--or whether  we'll see them sooner in updates to PASSPORT and SARA 
operating systems....as I've been led to believe...
Anyone know the timelines????
