All of the coolest stuff at
The Cable Show was on display at the CableNet booth.
The Motorola Tuning Adapter was there, but it was only one of about 30 small demos. The rest were from a entire range of companies showing off how cable can be the center of the connected home. There were software vendors showing off their
tru2way award winning games -- which made us wonder if they were the only one --
Moxi's had its long overdue DVR for MSOs,
GE and Next Alarm were hoping to help big cable get into the monitoring business,
Sigma Designs had a triple HD tuner chipset, and finally
Samsung was showing off its tru2way DVR and software called
SeeNSearch which adds Internet links to the program guide and lets you access web pages directly from the guide for display on your TV, but interestingly, isn't tru2way.

So this is where they gather to discuss how to screw their customers by raising their prices and putting flags on the content so we can't record them. Nice. OTA DTV FTW.
I'd sure like to see screen shots of new guide interfaces for Comcast, and Time Warner. Like the J-Guide / My TV-Guide, TWC Symphony, and whatever else you could get your hands on. Perhaps Comcast Caller ID on screen, games, and more?
We got pics of the new Comcast TV guide software at CES.

I missed the J-Guide, sorry.
