Re: Who Killed the Open Set-Top-Box?

said by GTFan:

It doesn't bode well for Cablecard's future, and there's no IP-based standard coming down the pipe to replace it. Sad.

The FCC killd the future of the CableCARD with the announcement of the DOA AllVid.

The IP-based method all the major players (Comcast, TWC, Cox, DirecTV, HBO, NBC, ESPN, Disney, Adobe, etc) are using is "TV Everywhere", even Tivo has announced upcoming products for it:
»www.engadget.com/2012/05 ··· -everyw/
TVeverywhere covers distribution, content protection, authorization, and billing. There are clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Xbox, various TV OSs, and many other products.

"TV Everywhere" is going nowhere on 3rd party DVRs so far.
