[...] We knew these moves were coming from Roku. Now we have a better sense of when: Look for content partnership announcements after the first of the year, presumably from at least YouTube. This does make the $99 device a more enticing holiday gift, but I still think you should wait before buying one and I’m not alone; others think they may just be a temporary fix. [...]

How does one define a set-top box? My Xbox and TiVo both provide HD movies using the Internet as a delivery mechanism with no problems. Regarding caps, cable/telco services must apply the same caps to the same transport mechanisms – if they don’t, they’ll be hauled into court for anti-competitive, network non-neutrality. Of course, most of them have their own dedicated, insulated pipelines into our homes – separate and distinct from the Internet access they provide. And also, you’d have to watch probably one HD movie a day to hit a reasonable cap like Comcast’s 250GB. A different story with some of the other caps, though… The NCTA tells me caps will increase as demand does and as applications proliferate.

I think it goes without saying that the cable and telcos have control over the TV settop box. (Digital cable is the focus here)

The problem is it feels free to use the provided box. Plus, for TV, two tuners is basically required for DVR so you can watch and record–no settop box I’ve seen can do that with digital cable.

What I want to know is why the TiVo deal with DirecTV isn’t a good model for these boxes? I think people would pay a premium for better functions (like the things the current boxes are working on). Plus, it would be good for consumers who may be inching closer to pushing for the cable companies to become ‘dumb pipes’.
