Marvin Vargas Senior Research & Policy Analyst Ellen Stutzman Senior Director, Research & Public Policy Writers Guild of America, West, Inc. 7000 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048 (323) 951-4000 May 23, 2016 Summary It is often the case that when new technology emerges incumbent providers make alarmist predictions about guaranteed harms resulting from these innovations. While some concerns may be reasonable, the overwhelming majority of outlined harms are never realized. As CBS Chairman and CEO Les Moonves said in 2015, “All these technology initiatives that supposedly were going to hurt us have actually helped us. SVOD has helped us. DVR has helped us. The ability to go online with our own content, CBS.com, and the trailing episodes – all have helped us.”1 With the entertainment industry currently dominated by a handful of companies that have never been more profitable, it is clear that new technology and forms of content distribution have helped, not hurt the industry. While new technology can create some business uncertainty, there is strong evidence that pro-consumer developments that make legal content more accessible to viewers benefits both consumers and content creators. The Federal Communications Commission’s proposed rules for a competitive navigation device market follow this path. The current pay-TV set-top box market is controlled by incumbent distributors who charge consumers high fees and exercise their gatekeeping power to limit content competition.
  • Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches

    Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches

    October 27, 2008 Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches Comcast Corporation and Panasonic have announced the first deployment of Tru2way™ bidirectional digital cable technology. Tru2way was developed by CableLabs based on the OpenCable™ specification and is a Java-based open application platform. It is being promoted as a digital CableCARD™ system that enables two- way communication between a digital-cable-ready TV set or other device and a cable operator’s head end to provide viewers with a rich interactive experience. According to a statement from Panasonic, “the technology creates a common software platform that will enable cable companies, consumer electronics companies, content developers, network programmers and others to extend interactivity to the TV set and other kinds of devices.” On October 15, 2008, Comcast activated the technology on its cable systems in Chicago and Denver. Panasonic HDTV sets with tru2way capability were also made available at selected retail outlets in these areas. The new Panasonic 42” and 50” Viera sets have built-in tru2way CableCARD slots enabling consumers to receive the cable electronic program guide and access two-way digital cable programming, like video on demand, pay-per-view, and other services, without a cable operator-supplied set-top box. To see the announcement from Panasonic and Comcast click here. Another announcement, from the Consumer Electronics Association, is available here. The advantage of the bidirectional cable card for consumers is that it removes the need for another set- top device around the TV and potentially reduces the equipment fee cable operators charge to lease their set-top components.

    Digital Television: an Overview

    Digital Television: An Overview /name redacted/ Specialist in Science and Technology Policy January 11, 2008 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL31260 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Digital Television: An Overview Summary Digital television (DTV) is a new television service representing the most significant development in television technology since the advent of color television. DTV can provide movie theater quality pictures and sound, a wider screen, better color rendition, multiple video programming or a single program of high definition television (HDTV), and other new services currently being developed. The nationwide deployment of digital television is a complex and multifaceted enterprise. A successful deployment requires the development by content providers of compelling digital programming; the delivery of digital signals to consumers by broadcast television stations, as well as cable and satellite television systems; and the widespread purchase and adoption by consumers of digital television equipment. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-104) provided that initial eligibility for any DTV licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should be limited to existing broadcasters. Because DTV signals cannot be received through the existing analog television broadcasting system, the FCC decided to phase in DTV over a period of years, so that consumers would not have to immediately purchase new digital television sets or converters. Thus, broadcasters were given new spectrum for digital signals, while retaining their existing spectrum for analog transmission so that they can simultaneously transmit analog and digital signals to their broadcasting market areas. Congress and the FCC set a target date of December 31, 2006, for broadcasters to cease broadcasting their analog signals and return their existing analog television spectrum to be auctioned for commercial services (such as broadband) or used for public safety communications.

Using a CableCARD provided by Optimum will allow you to watch most of our programming without the use of a digital cable box. CableCARDs do not support two-way, interactive services such as On Demand, the Optimum program guide, interactive services or the ability to order Pay-Per-View using your remote. Certain programming is provided in a “switched video” format, such as select international and sports channels. CableCARD-compatible devices, such as TiVo, must be equipped with a Tuning Adapter to receivet his type of programming. If you have a digital TV with a QAM tuner, you’ll be able to see channels in Broadcast Basic that are not encrypted without any extra equipment. Please also note that our equipment may not support certain features and functions of older TVs or VCRs. For example, you may not be able to use display features (such as picture-in-picture), use a VCR to record one program while viewing another, or use a VCR to record consecutive programs on different channels. Some of these problems may be resolved by the use of A/B switches, signal splitters, and/or other supplemental equipment that can be purchased from Optimum or through retail stores.

    HDHomeRun Windows software No tuners found Back to top Check to make sure that the HDHomeRun has a good network connection, as indicated by the network LED on the device being solid green. For first/second generation HDHomeRun devices (HDHR-US, HDHR-T1-US, HDHR-EU), the network LED is the leftmost of the ones in the window. For HDHR3-US, HDHR3-CC, and HDHR4-2US, the network LED is the furthest left LED. For HDTC-2US, the network LED is the furthest left LED. For HDTC-2US, the network LED is at the bottom of the network port. If the LED is blinking red (HDTC-2US) or solid red (other devices), this indicates that the device does not have a network connection. Try a different network cable and port on your switch/router. If the LED is blinking green, this indicates that the device has a network connection, but has not received an IP address via DHCP. If connected to your main network, check to make sure that your router is powered on and has its DHCP server enabled. If the router has any access control/allowed devices/MAC filtering function, either the HDHomeRun needs to be on the allowed list, or this function should be disabled. If the HDHomeRun is directly connected to the network interface on your computer, the interface should be set to a static IP in the 169.254.x.y range (for example, 169.254.1.9) with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 If the network LED is solid green, then the HDHomeRun has an address.
