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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20826756 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:33:45 EDT Re: TWC best watch their step http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20825415 Dogfather : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20825415 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:52:55 EDT Re: TWC best watch their step http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20825342 hottboiinnc : Why should TWC watch their step? they're not doing anything they shouldnt be doing with SDV. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20825342 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:43:10 EDT Re: TWC best watch their step http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20825184 SLD : That is a big question I have.

Meanwhile everything I read was about the focus on TiVos but I'm wondering about other cablecard tuners. The other day there was a Sony Blu-Ray Vista HTPC with CableCard built in for $999 in the Hot Deals forum. I wonder if these USB SDV adapters will work with these Cablelabs approved Vista machines that include Cablecard.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20824412 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:52:12 EDT
