Cable Digital News: Consumer Groups to FCC: Redo the Set-Top Rules
After reading the petition, it looks like they’re actually proposing two boxes: one that converts the cable/satellite/DSL/fiber signal to Ethernet and another that handles display and everything else. Although my previous political misgivings stand, at least this is technically feasible (if expensive). Also, good luck getting either clear video over Ethernet or a non-NDA’d conditional access system.
