It's unlikely this will come to the US because the cable and satellites control the access to content. Tivo was pretty much forced to cut a deal with Comcast or go out of business. They were supposed to implement Cable Card, however the support has been terrible destroying any chance for third party products to succeed.
In countries like the UK, they have laws that allow companies open access. In the US it's all in the hands of the cable and satellite companies. You can't decrypt their signal without their permission, which they refuse to grant because they want to sell their own hardware.
The only way Sony can get this to work in the US is to bend over to the cable companies and even MS is unwilling to do that.
