i seem to remember that at least one of the old companies were said to have authorised an official combined router/CM perhaps it was the business section but i cant remember exactly, so VM could allow you that option if they still supply them.

all current DS2 cable kit as already stated is using well tryed and tested chipsets/SOC so its just a lack of will on VMs part to authorise a select few DS vendors 3d party kit.

and they could once again sell you DS kit outright as NTL or was it TW did once many moons ago and make a new profit on it today.

as a side note , im pritty sure the Ambit 255 modem CPU/SOC is full E-DS2 36Mbit ? sustained throughput capable

a home gateway would be nice IF VM DIDNT cripple it by not including the generic firmware/middleware driver set to run the ports as i see fit, think Liberate such a wonderful and fast STB middleware and carousel backend for the 21st century NOT.....

iv not mentioned the antiquated VM liberate middleware for a while stuart so i have to find a way to drop it in there sometimes to remind people

all i really want is direct access to my payed for transport streams so i can multicast them as i please to anything i care to plug into my (wireless)LAN, decode it and play it back when and were i like.
