You know I grew up in an area with Cox service my entire life and never noticed that innuendo. Until I met people in college who hadn't grown up with it pointed it out. Seriously I think their advertising team intentionally puts innuendos into the writing. Examples of one that I just saw a minute ago: (Two men talking to the camera) "Our business was saved thanks to Cox!".

Honestly though, they are one of the most supportive cable companies out there, and are great at getting new networks, (We already have Epix, and the SWRV interactive music video channel), and at getting good hardware. ]]>Aug 12th 2010 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/Aug 12th 2010 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/Aug 12th 2010 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/Aug 12th 2010 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/

CableCARD has always been able to do VOD. They make an effort to point out this common error on the CableCARD site.

http://www.cablelabs.com/opencable/primer/cablecard_primer.html

The lack of VOD stems purely from the host box. If the box is not designed for VOD it won't work. Blame the box makers not CableCARD.

The internet has made this common mistake worse because one person with little technical knowledge writes an incorrect article blaming the cards and then it spreads around.]]>Aug 12th 2010 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/Aug 12th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/Aug 12th 2010 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/cox-to-offer-retail-tivo-premiere-dvrs-next-year-first-with-cab/

And no it isn't just the box makers fault that we don't have VOD on our 3rd party boxes. The Interface to most VOD systems hasn't been exactly easy for third parties to interact with. Seachange made a bridge to allow the Tivo to interact with the VOD system via its IP connection which is what makes this possible.

And he complained the whole time about how Tivo's were a pain in the ass to fix, how terrible and overpriced they were. I agreed, but reminded him he works for Cox.

How are they able to do VOD without True2Way?
