And possibly why this may never see the light of day. Glenn, that’ll always be Moto’s (and Cisco’s) challenge – getting the cable-cos to roll out innovative, new technology.

So if you've got a Moto headend in your area, you can use this. Also sounds like its got to be enabled by your cable company, so we know that'll mean we won't be seeing this for a while. And since it cooperates on the DRM there *might* be issues with some content--HBO say--which would refuse to be transcoded. But still, a nice attempt. I'll stick with my Slingbox though. I assume that app was shown on a developer iPod and hasn't been approved yet... Okay, so it only works with certain Moto boxes (a DCT 2000 or 700 doesn’t have the needed USB port).

I was saying how neat the Echostar slingbox DVR was, but this appears to add similar functionality without a whole new box. At least if I'm on the crapper, I don't have to miss my show, because I'll have my trusty IPhone with me :-o That’s way cool.

I asked that very question. They said it'd be no big deal to incorporate the tech, however there are gazillions of already deployed units which don't have the necessary hardware. Also, they envision these being possibly being used with non-Moto boxes. John, that’s on their radar if not the roadmap. I asked that very question.
