Found this on Excite news:

An agreement has yet to be reached between cable and consumer electronics makers on technical standards for interactive technology. The digital cable-ready TVs now in circulation can receive but not transmit data, creating a one-way street that limits their appeal to consumers.

Some cable companies have struck agreements individually with manufacturers like Samsung Electronics America.

Samsung is testing a two-way digital TV in Milwaukee with Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) but a wider rollout of similar models won't be available until next year, said Stephen Goldstein, director of business development at Samsung Electronics America.


Anyone have one of these?  Why didn't they call me to test one of these? :bang: :bang:

Two-Way? Does that mean you can complain via your cable box?

There isn't enough bandwidth to handle the volume of complaint information streaming from TW customers.

Good one.

They will probably roll out their new traffic shaping software to prevent that from happening.

No kidding, I would fill up their volume alone.
