Windows Media Center PCs Get Cable, HD Signals

What makes more sense than Windows Media Center PCs getting the ability to support premium high definition cable, and display your Xbox 360 images? Why, calling it OpenCable and having it function one-way only, of course. The agreement Microsoft and CableLabs made gives users the ability to receive high definition signals onto their PCs, but in an ironic move (especially considering the OpenCable moniker) the signals are one-way only. Head-y, I know. This basically means that you won't be sharing HD stuff with other users via the Internet. OpenCable indeed.
