IPTV helped by TiVo and cable lobby
Switched video remains cable TV’s principle weapon against telco and satellite incursions and for many is the reason why IPTV will struggle to make inroads in the U.S. market. Hence, why everyone should take note of the alliance this week between TiVo and the cable lobby the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.
Tivo of course is the brand behind the box which records TV to a hard drive and then replays it–sans ads if you like. The announcement was for an adapter that enables TiVo’s CableCARD-enabled DVRs to view switched digital channels–no extra set top box required.
