Bye-bye Cable Box

The country's 6 biggest cable companies, including COMCAST, have tentatively agreed to use a new type of technology to allow consumers access to interactive features on their TV but without that bulky cable box!

 

 WASHINGTON (AP) - The TV cable box may be on the way out.
     The National Cable and Telecommunications Association has struck
a deal with Sony to use the cable industry's technology in Sony
sets as soon as possible. That would mean advanced "two-way"
services without the need for a set-top box or, in most cases, a
separate remote.
     The cable association says it hopes other electronics
manufacturers will follow Sony's lead.
     Under the new system, customers will get a "cable card" from
their provider that will fit into their set and unscramble the
signal. Cable cards have been around for a while, but have been
troublesome and never popular.
     It's hoped the new agreement will clear-up the technical
glitches.
