I have a Motorola DCX3400, which supports 16:9 HD graphics, MoCA & Multi-room, eSATA expantion, MPEG4, 1 GHz tuning, USB ports, internal DOCSIS modem for DSG, and the list goes on. My cable provider however utilizes NONE of those features. It functions the same as a DCT-6412.

Sure the companies in this alliance may try to put the squeeze on MSO's to get this stuff working... but the MSO's are too lazy, weak, and unimaginable to support it.

We've heard people complain about the lack of Cable innovation before (see: http://www.businessinsider.com/time-for-cable-companies-to-get-serious-about-software-2009-3 and http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/08/cable-boxes-and-their-fisher-price-remotes-are-junk-demand-better/ for just two examples). They just keep pushing things back. Tru2Way? Try to get a Tru2Way device. I dare you. What happened to Tivo running on a Motorola set top? Oh only in a few remote towns in New England. The things been there since 2006 and we still have yet to see it outside of it's 'test' environment.]]>Nov 5th 2009 4:46PM
