Re: Not sure if I care

Standards, man, standards. Let's call a standard DVROI (Digital Video Recorder Open Initiative)

DVROI-SD - Records SD content
DVROI-HD720 - Records HD at 720p
DVROI-HD1080i - Records HD at 1080i
DVROI-HD1080p - Records HD at 1080p

DVROI-OD - Does on-demand

Just have an easy way of describing standards and you're good. I think most of the public knows about WiFi now, and they know that WiFi N is better than WiFi G etc.

Which is all fine & good in theory...now let's see it implemented.

Don't lose faith Just make it an IEEE standard like WiFi, Ethernet etc. and see what goes...we have standards for codecs (MPEG-2, MPEG-4) etc. so why not have a standard for STBs?

*Pulls out sock puppets

"I'm Comcast - I have deal with MOTO to sell box - I HAPPY"

"I'm consumer, I want box for kid's room + extra for guest room, where 2 buy?"

"I'm companyX, I have DVR, you buy?"

Comcast goes "NOMNOMNOM" on companyX and consumer.

Standards are good, but hard to get. I like yours, easy to understand. Then again, aren't consumers supposed to be dumb like most companies want them to be? They certainly can't learn can they?
