Yes, that would be nice, but I think we'll need the legal dollars of the big guys to fight big content at first to let us do what we really want to do.

I just want an ipTV service we can all sign up for and implement in our own networks. Cambium may have saw a future light in this because of the mention of a set top box they are developing. Its been a few wispaloozas ago but I swore I heard something about this. On 3/7/2016 7:04 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: There's still *a* box, yes. It can be the DVR you have on another TV elsewhere. You just don't need one at your RVU compliant TV. I beleive other pay TV services can implement this, I just don't think any have. The next version of the DVR won't go at a TV, though, it'll go in the "wiring closet". ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 6, 2016 9:19:37 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Directv over internet on its way! So there’s still a STB, or DVR, some kind of box? Is this the one Wheeler wants you to buy from Google or Amazon?

Samsung TVs can already connect to a Genie DVR over Ethernet without needing a receiver. I believe they killed their Genie Go product because they'll be incorporating that functionality directly in the newer DVRs. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 6, 2016 9:10:07 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Directv over internet on its way! Netflix is way more flexible about bandwidth and adapting video quality on the fly than Direct TV On Demand, if that’s the technology they plan to use. I don’t know about Sling TV, apparently I don’t have very many customers using it. I have UVerse at my house, I expect at some point they will tell me that my current STB is no longer supported and I have to get some Direct TV box. That’s the other thing, people seem to sign up for whatever has an app already installed on their smart TV or satellite receiver. I’m not sure how AT&T intends to sell OTT video streaming with no STB, unless they get Samsung to put an app in their smart TVs. I don’t think people are ready to replace their 60 inch TV with an iPad.
