Scientific Atlanta, TiVo launch new product

strange this article is from Sep 7th, but yet no word on it until now. I am guessing it might be a confusion to the comcast spending development money to port to SA hardware.

 

Any way to post some of the details for those of us without bizjournals accounts? Don't post the whole article, maybe just summarize? Does it really include Directv?

 

So I've done some digging around and apparently all this means is Comcast is going to directly fund Tivo's development costs for porting the software to SciAtl boxes. Nowhere is there any mention of a partnership directly between Tivo and SciAtl, and it seems that it's only Comcast right now.

Makes sense because SciAtl has nothing to do with DirecTV.

From the article :

This is just SA telling us what we already knew. Comcast is gonna foot the bill for TiVo to port their OCAP-ish stuff to the SA boxes. No more, no less.

 

SA didn't write the article. SA doesn't say anything.

I'm questioning whether SA is even involved in what TiVo is doing.

 

there is no mention of Tivo on SA's site. I highly doubt there is a special partnership outside of a standard OCAP developer relationship. Probably the same relationship Pioneer has with SA regarding the Pioneer software that runs on the SA boxes.
