FCC Plan Would Give Consumer Control Of Set-top Box
And cable industry analyst Brett Sappington, of Parks Associates in Dallas, said that companies like Tivo already offer third-party cable set-top boxes, but few consumers purchase them.
“Many don’t even consider the option of buying a set-top box somewhere else,” Sappington said.
But Parks Associates estimates a third of US homes with broadband Internet access have purchased Internet video-streaming devices, so a box that could deliver both Internet video and cable TV might find an audience.
