Another one bites the dust… Cox Communication’s over the top flareWatch television experiment has come to an end, with customers being notified of service termination and refunds (1, 2) while the landing page indicates “Service Unavailable.” The offering, built upon FanTV hardware, was intended to provide advanced television services, including cloud DVR and VOD, to cord cutters (who’d effectively replace one cord for another). Next?

I guess we’ll have to see what Intel’s OnCue offers.
Would love to hear any details about this experiment. Why was it shut down? Did the service suck? Did people not subscribe? Did it not scale?
@Jim,
Not sure OnCue is ever going to see the light of day, but hey, I could be wrong.
Intel just announced its pushed back the start date til 2014 as opposed to this year.
