OK scrap that last message. Here is more recent info:

From the article:

"Two FCC sources briefed on the matter said the commission is not expected to approve Wheeler’s separate plan to overhaul the $20 billion annual pay-TV set-top box market that would have allowed tens of millions of users to scrap costly boxes."

So to be clear, all that huffing and puffing from Plotkin & team is now in the trash. This only worked if the FCC remained / Wheeler option and Trump is going to go in and clean house.

So the set top box deal isn't in the cards anymore, Hauppauge wasted a ton of money on this and we are back to square one with stupid cable boxes that we have to lease.

At least HAUP doesn't have to play ball with Analog anymore, but that is tiny compared to what was previously at stake

karma

What's the difference in the way Ken Plotkin has treated shareholders as the fcc will ultimately treat Hauppauge? He tried to screw the little guy so why should good karma find him with the fcc?
