Sony VAIO VGX-TP20E user reviews

"I really like this product in every way but one.
I bought it to aggregate all of my digital music, pictures, and video with my television in my living room. It does all that and more (e.g. supports internet radio, internet TV, gives up to date sports scores, etc) with one important exception -- it is not "digital cable ready".
What that means is that you will not be able to get this thing to work with a digital cable tuner with a cableCARD. In otherwords, if you are getting digital cable with HD programming, and you plan to replace your set top box with this thing and a cableCARD, it won't fit the bill.
So, if you can't live without digital cable, look elsewhere. Otherwise, I highly recommend this product. "
