Re: Likely scenario
said by DaveNJ  :I agree with you, they need to pass a law, that the cableco must support cable card 2 immediately, including customer self installation, via web. Cable companies do support CableCARD 2.0. See this:
»broadband.motorola.com/business/···tops.asp
»sciatl.com/products/customers/pr···CARD.htm
Those are the latest boxes just about every cable company is using.
What you want is 2-way cable boxes (which isn't related to CableCARD 2.0) and that's been possible since CableCARDs came out, it's just that few box makers actually produce them.
Self-Installation via web will drive trouble calls and mad customers through the roof. Currently that's mostly because of flaky CableCARD support from the TV makers. Customers don't seem to understand thier new TVs often need firmware updates for proper CableCARD support. |
