So how will cable companies get consumers to switch to true2way? Will there just be a cut off date like the analog broadcast cut off date and people with CableCard Media Centers will just be out of luck if they haven't upgraded? Are we talking like 5-10 years before we see this tech or like 24 months, or like October?
Many TWC customers already have it, Comcast and others will get it this year.
The plan seems to be to update customers with the normal STB churn. So if you ask for a new STB and your provider has made the move to tru2way, then you'll get it.
As for 3rd party manufactures. So far only Panasonic seems like they'll have HDTVs out this year. Both LG and Samsung aren't saying when (that I know of).
