Bob, this is jusy my opinion,and does not have much direct info behind it. I think the set top box stuff is junk,and the fool on the hill,Malone is behind it. Have you looked at the new Web TV?? They can't keep it in stock,its flying off the shelves,and it is only going to get more functionality. You can watch T.V. and surf the web at the same time,it has a 1.1 GB Hard Drive, and also,it has a printer port.
I think the Web T.V. thing should wipe out both NC's and the stupid,semi dumb cable boxes. Web T.V. is still $279 and has much more functionality than either one of these,and the cable boxes are around $350??? Wow,another stupid Malone move,hey how many stupid moves does one Malone make,and still stay in business. I hope they totally separate @Home from TCI,TCI will sink like a stone in the East River.
Once Web T.V. is cable modem ready,and comes with a Pentium chip,watch out,this will be the access of the future,and MSFT hold this trump card. @Home and Web T.V. are the horses that will win,in my opinion.
NLV deal is fools gold.
