kudos:3 | As usual.. spin and slant added... The reason the low adoption rate isn't purely "cable operators don't want to cannibalize DVR and set-top rentals"... Karl.. are you kidding me?
Price a cable card TV? It's not all about DVR and boxes... customers are not quick to run out and buy a cable card tv as many of them, especially 2 years ago when they came out, were ungodly expensive.. not to mention, the equipment is crap. The tuners are slow and people have been largely unimpressed with the equipment.
Not trying hard to promote them? Do you see them promoting cable boxes are than the DVR "SERVICE"? Time warner and other cable companies put cable card right on their website and here's a news flash, THEY DON'T FEATURE THEIR BOXES on any page of it's own.. but cable card, is.
Techs.. can't get them working with in four hours? Yea.. it happens.. and box installs and regular cable ready installs can take up to 4 hours to trouble-shoot too.
Anytime you want to get two for-profit companies to work together, you will always have inter fighting. Cablelabs set the standards for device makers... and device makers have MANY TIMES screwed up their equipment. Karl.. ever thought about posting those companies that admit that their firmware had problems? or do you care to blame everything on Comcast, a company that doesn't even MAKE the cards...?
Your news stories are going farther and father off the scale that it's becoming a joke. Sorry if you don't like my view or point, but with out others contributing or calling you on this stuff, you're doing nothing but spewing garbage.
