We have both kinds. The ones with the rats nest(s) (and not just behind
the TV). We also have those with the full NOC with high end Cisco
equipment (and other equipment) in 19" racks in air conditioned rooms.

You definitely have a different class of customers than I do, if they
have “wiring closets”. More like the rats nest behind the TV.
Plus customers want everything WiFi now. What is this “wiring” of
which you speak? You mean charging cables?

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".

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?

DirecTV's next Genie DVR will be headless. 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.

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.

You can already watch directv live over the internet using their App,
if you are a subscriber.
