Re: Woudln't the following be ideal: said by iansltx:I'd absolutely love that, but there's no "you must have cable TV" requirement so it's not gonna hapen from the CATV providers. I understand that, but a "no CATV service required" option allows cable TV providers to expand their market share and step outside of their current regulated and confined space (of course, that's also a good reason why they don't want it). Additionally, it could help the likes of Comcast sidestep that pesky "30%" rule.said by iansltx:Would be nice though if someone came out with a full-fledged IPTV box that just required, say, a 5 Mbps internet connection to run on. Sorta like SkyAngel but with more channels and HD support. That'd be progress... It wouldn't do much good without the content owners/distributors being on board. |
