I don't see the point of tru2way in boxes that are owned by the cable company. What would that offer that existing boxes can't? I thought the whole point of tru2way was to allow 3rd-party devices (i.e. TVs, DVRs, etc.) to operate on the cable network.
That's the point eventually. I would imagine it will take time for the CE companies to fully get on board, particularly after being burned with the first cable card spec. It would be nice to be able to just plug cable into a digital television and just have it work.
