Why not? For the reasons I stated earlier: Too many different
broadcasters, too many different boxes, too much potential liability. I
sure as heck doesn't want to be the broadcaster that distributes some bum
code that makes all brand X boxes in my market go dark, and have all those
viewers upset. I don't care how much the STB manufacturer paid me to
carousel their data.
In a closed system like USDTV, where you are assured of the universe of
STBs, AND you control the transmission of data, AND you suffer the
consequences if you lock up 10,000 boxes in a market, sure.
