Re: TWC best watch their step

If they start charging high fees for SDV add-on boxes it could be seen as anti-competitive by the FCC who is pushing cablecards.

... for the very small, and I do mean VERY small group of people that SDV affects, I don't see the issue. There's not "step" that needs to be watched, etc. There are millions and millions of cable TV customers out there and the number of those that have the older Tivo and other devices is a very small amount.

Can't even see that these devices will be out there for very long as it is as new equipment will be made to handle SDV.

Personally, I think the end user should PURCHASE the adapters themselves. NOTHING, not a dime, should be subsidized to the end user consumer...

This is hardly anti-competitive.. it's called evolution.

Why would it be considered anti? Dish and DirecTV do it. It will be required equipment.
