Sage, allvid and the FCC
I happened to stumble across this and thought I'd share it
http://mobile.multichannel.com/artic...id_Gateway.php I never realized sage was so involved in lobbying! Good for them! |

I'm really surprised/concerned that Microsoft has not been involved in the discussion. I think MS is giving up on HTPC's and working towards selling their UI to cable & satellite companies etc. Here's a wrap-up article I wrote on this latest news |

Wasn't Tru2Way supposed to be somewhat like CableCard 2.0?

Sort of. But really just an extension of existing CableCard technology. Good example of how this AllVid talk could just evaporate though - and that's exactly what the U.S. Cable industry is hoping for.

I still don't get why AllVid would change the third-party STB market. Is it really *that* much easier to design, build and certify a DRMed box with an ethernet port than to design, build and certify a DRMed box with a special PCMCIA slot? I'm not saying there wouldn't be a cost difference, it just doesn't seem like it would be significant enough to create a market that largely failed to materialize with CableCard.
I kind of get why it would be nice for PC-based DVRs, since you could have entirely software-based solutions, but that's never going to be a mass-market product. It seems like much less of an issue for special purpose CE devices. And I'm also not entirely sure why AllVid changes things so much from Sage's perspective. If they weren't willing to implement DRM in Sage for CableCard why would they change their minds for AllVid? |

It's all in the name... ALLVid. The idea is that all STBs, PCs or whatever would be able to access any of the video services out there. Cable, Sat, FIOS, whatever. All handled by a gateway that manages access and rights to whatever service. It really would make all of our access devices universal. Then we could have everyone capable of manufacturing devices that access it. Like the old days with VCRs.

So basically... AllVid+Ultraviolet = Rainbows+Unicorns?

Right. Kinda like the possibility of some tablet computer effectively winning the battle over laptop and netbook sales in a year was all rainbows & unicorns
![]() Point being you never know, but you sure as heck better be involved in the discussion & planning so you have a voice. I'm happy SageTV is involved in that discussion at least. Of course nobody knows how much of it (if any) will ever happen, but you never know. |

Oh yeah, if I were SageTV or running my own SageTV-like company, I'd definitely be involved in making sure my options at least stay as open as they are, and ideally expand.
I just wish I could be as optimistic about things as many on this forum seem to be..... |

We've now been labeled the 'Aquaman' of the 'Justice League of Technology'...I'd rather be someone cooler...but we can live with Aquaman:

I find it hugely ironic they grouped you and NagraVision together
![]() Considering NagraVision creates the technology that prevents recording of Dish Network |

So does SageTv getting equated with Nagravision mean SageTv is going to be sued by TiVo? ![]() ![]() At least they didn't call SageTv "The Flash".

Allvid is making cable companies nervous. They think it will destroy current business models. I guess they don't get that people are canceling their cable service and going ota netflix/hulu plus. I wonder if they know how many customers they will lose in the next few years as streaming becomes dominant over subscription based packages?
