| Comcast getting Samsung Cable Boxes?
Has anyone heard anything about Comcast getting Samsung Cable Boxes? According to a Cable Rant article they are coming soon.

If it is true, hopefully, they will be better than the shit Comcast has now. |

| No you won't see Samsung boxes being deployed for Comcast. Comcast has the Panasonic TZ-PCH2180 (RNG-200) and the Motorola DCX. The DCX is already being deployed in a few divisions but it has HDMI issues. The panasonic box has yet to have been deployed. The DCX and Panasonic DVR have 250 GB HDD's. Motorola even has a 320 GB version available and you can order it with MoCA for multi room DVR viewing. |

Oh okay. It's not for now though. I knew that the new boxes support MoCA. That will be nice to be able to get those boxes when they come out.
Although, since I already have 6 MoCA 1.0 bridges in my network, two MoCA DVRs will max me out. But, I can live with that. |

My DCH-3416 and DCT-700 have MOCA diagnostic pages. What are they doing in there if they aren't MOCA certified? Yet they can't even put native passthrough in the DCH-3416, but they can put in unsupported MOCA in the firmware image.
Samsung box would go nice with my Samsung TV. Would like to try anything but Motorola at this point. |
