| IP The adapters work with other devices, including the Ceton cards when they come out.
SDV is a generally good technology, and it will allow programming to be delivered as if everything is ON-Demand, and with small nodes, will give a cable system literally unlimited capacity.
With SDV, there is no reason to have anything more than local HD and expanded basic SD (for DTA's) sent all of the time.
What I'd like to know is why can't the cable operators just allow control over the internet? They would just need a way for the TiVo to connect to their servers, and control the SDV streams from there. The first SDV channel change would be absolutely glacial, but after that, they shouldn't be that bad. Besides, TiVo fanatics don't really change channels, that's done for them, and they just watch the recordings. |
