said by motorola870:the only problem with IPTV is verizon might get into trouble with the FCC if they break Tivo's, Ceton, Silicondust, Moxi, and any other cablecard device's ability to tune all of the non VOD services. TWC and Cox did this with SDV and withheld SDV channels from customers and got slapped with a fine. Is there any plans for an adapter for the UDCP devices?
Don't confuse willfully withholding access with not being able to access the streams.
The SDV was an issue (initially, TWC appealed the ruling and won so no fine was paid) because the solution was there and TWC was withholding it. If Verizon moves to IPTV and is willing to work with any third party on bringing those service to the other devices, they are basically clear. If TIVO doesn't want to engineer compatibility with FIOS's IPTV implementation even though Verizon would work with them on making it a reality, it's on TIVO and not Verizon and the FCC wouldn't get involved.
