Re: Nice! said by Jmartz:A cablevision technician the other day during an installation told me that Cablevision is trying to go wireless for all their services. Internet, Phone and he even said they are trying to figure out how to have a box at each customer that takes the video and streams it to the cable boxes as opposed to having to use coax to each box for TV service. It sounds far fetched, but I guess if the technology is out there or being developed, it could be a good thing. This sounds like Cablevision is experimenting with this stuff already. If they can get OOL and OV working over this wireless system, then having a wireless device in each customers house to transmit digital video to cable boxes I guess is possible. That is pretty cool! As much as I hate Cablevision due to my many problems I had while I was a OOL customer for 5-7 years, I have to admit that they always seem to be the first to come out with cool new technologies... FIOS is awesome and all, but I don't see them doing this anytime soon... CV still is small enough to be able to think up these things and implement them relatively cheaply and easily compared to the mega corporations that span the entire country like Verizon or Comcast.
