The cable industry definitely agrees that a Java-based approach would be safer than any environment where binary executables are directly downloaded and executed (regardless of the underlying OS under Java). This is why both DVB and ATSC (digital television standards bodies in Europe and the US, respectively) have spec'ed Java as the base technology for their standard application environments. Whether this will translate to Java becoming a standard settop component is another question, however, although it does provide a very nice hedge against MS establishing a monopoly in this area.
