CableLabs however, doesn't want to have DIY PC's. They will approve them but only in OEM PC's that have their blessing. I don't think Vista will support it. Maybe Windows 7 will have tru2way with a compatible middleware made by the Vendors or MS.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rendezvous65]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2009 9:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The state of tru2way according to CES]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[well thats just dumb.....Why WOULDNT they want to get royalties  from the thousands of cards that would sell???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PSN: Aggie_CEO]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2009 10:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The state of tru2way according to CES]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tru2way is a technology scam.<br><br>Tru2way (AKA OCAP) is based on the failed European standard called MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) that was born in the late 1990's as a replica of now defunct ATSC's DASE  (Digital TV Application Software Environment) .  DASE was based on the early 1990's Java TV technology, back when Sun Microsystems was the DOT in the dot-com.<br><br>The whole concept was (is) nothing more than a technical scam to get clueless executives to invest in a miracle software solution. The concept always get the attention of executives who do not understand software, but afraid of it.<br><br>Tru2way is a software scheme that pretends to solve the wrong problem with the wrong technology.<br><br>MHP/DASE/OCAP/tru2way gave a lot of software engineers job security. It already cost the industry a few billions of dollars. But hey!  We've seen bigger scams lately...<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2009 6:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The state of tru2way according to CES]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[Absolute waffle ...you obviously know nothing about the technology, its reason for existing nor its roll-out in Europe and throughout the Rest of the World...OCAP is running in all 8 Korean MSOs and very successfully deploying.  MHP is being taken up in European Cable, Satellite, Terrestrial and GEM-IPTV Services are flourishing Worldwide...Alticast alone has deployed more than 10Million MHP/OCAP enabled STBs...8 million MHP boxes alone in Italy on Terrestrial...Blu-ray and OpenTPYV forum have embraced the OCAP/MHP Specifications and we now have a GEM Application Framework (Globally Executable MHP) which is collaboration by all the different agaencies involved.  Cablelabs, ATSC, ARIB, BDA, OpenIPTV and of course the DVB.  Things have moved on a looooooooong way since you last studied the subject.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2009 2:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The state of tru2way according to CES]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/19/the-state-of-tru2way-according-to-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want that guide shown on the Samsung TV.

My personal opinion is that the application development market within both CATV and IPTV has been to much delayed due to various self-inflected reasons and the window of opportunity is now shrinking fast when Google, Flickr, Netflix, Yahoo et al are moving into the TV without the involvement of the operators.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Olof]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 28th 2009 7:06AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
