What about the vastly improved Cisco VHD box. What about TiVo. What about an affordable Tivo in the summer. What about Red Button launching as promised.

Do you think that someone thinks of a product and its delivered in a few weeks? Red button functionality, like TiVo is a massive technological change to the distribution network, Cable TV in its current form in the UK cant match the broadcasting bandwidth of satellite until further changes are made. The company certainly isn't doing nothing and I find it insulting that you suggest so. As a member of this forum then surely you must have seen the endless TiVo, HD, Nagra3 threads to be aware that changes are happening... and all happening to provide a stable and secure future for the company.
Calm down dear
