Re: tivo/sdv The moon mission was drastically easier than this. There was only one financial source to get our butts to the moon and it was unlimited in resources: the tax-payer. There was only one vendor: NASA. SDV is now up to five competing vendors to get the "big" contract. There are also six major MSO's. Four of the six are actively testing SDV, two of which entered major roll-outs a while back. The remaining two are desperately trying to find a cheaper contract and a vendor that will support less than 750mhz systems without the cost of 1ghz support. Cox and Time Warner found a good vendor for their needs, Comcast is still searching. |
