Njengabanye abasebenzisi abaningana benkonzo-nkonzo, u-Mediacom ukhethe i- TiVo njenge-hardware kunye ne-UI umnikezeli xa ukhetha ukuhambisa isisombululo sekhaya sase- DVR ngo-2013.
Isisombululo sekhaya saseMediacom siza kuba neTiVo Premiere Q ezine ezine-tuner DVR isango, iTVo Mini IP-top-clients kunye ne-TiVo's iOS kunye ne-Android. Kubonakala ukuba, i-Mediacom iphinda ikhangele ukunikela nge-Pace XG1, isilwanyana sesithandathu se-DVR ekwayi-DOCSIS 3.0. Zonke iiMediacom ezisetyenziswe kwiTiVo zixhobo ziza kufumana imimiselo ebonakalayo ye-TV kunye nokufunwa kwe-intanethi kunye neenkonzo ze-intanethi. Ziziphi iinkonzo ezingabelwanga kodwa kodwa zithemba kubaxhasi beMediacom oku kuthetha izinto ezinjengeNetflix kunye ne-Amazon VoD ecaleni kwesiqulatho sakho sekhebula.
Umboneleli oyintloko
Mediacom ithe i-TiVo iya kuba ngumcebisi wabo oyintloko kwisisombululo sabo sekhaya. Ziyodwa elandelayo kwikhowudi ekhulayo ye-MSOs yekhebula eziye zagqiba ekubeni iTiVo isisombululo esingcono kunokuba singakwazi ukuza kunye kwaye ngaphandle kwe-Dayview ye-Dayview ye-Comcast, kufuneka ndivume. I-TiVo iye yahlala ixesha elide ngokwanele kule nqanaba ukuba bayazi ukuba yintoni esebenzayo noko kungenjalo. Akunjalo kuphela kodwa banomjikelezo omncinci wokuphuhlisa kwaye unokutshintshelwa ngokutsha ngokukhawuleza kunokuba nayiphi na iMSO endikubonile inakho. Oko kuthetha ukuba abathengi abafumani kuphela ukufikelela kuwo wonke umxholo onikezelwe yinkampani yabo yekhamera kodwa banokusebenzisa esinye isixhobo kwigumbi lokuhlala ukuze barekhode umxholo, bafikelele kwi-intanethi kwaye banethuba elingcono lokufumana izibuyekezo ngokuzayo ngokukhawuleza kunokuba inkampani yekhamera yeDVR inokwenziwa.
Ngubani & # 39; s UkuSebenzisa
Njengoko lolu uluhlu lweenkampani zekhebula zisebenzisa i-TiVo okanye i- Moxi zixhobo njengeminikelo yabathengi ziyaqhubeka zikhula, kufuneka sizibuze xa siza kubona i ngongoma xa kungekhona nje kuphela iTiVo inzuzo, kodwa xa ii-MSO ziza kuthatha isigqibo sokuba zifumana intsebenzo engcono ( kubonwa njengemali engaphezulu) ngokuvumela umntu wesithathu ukuba anikezele i-hardware. Iinkampani zeekhamera njengamanje (inxalenye enkulu) zinikezela abathengi babo i-DVR ngemali yenyanga. Oku akuyi kuguquka kodwa ukugcinwa kwe-backend yokugcina zonke ezi zixhobo kubiza imali.
Iindleko
Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kuhlala kukho iindleko zokuba ne-hardware endle. Enoba ngabachwephesha baya emakhaya emizi ukuze benze ukulungiswa okanye ukugcina nje izixhobo, akukho nkampani inokukuphelisa ngokupheleleyo. Oko kwathiwa, ukuba inkampani yekhamera ingafumana inkampani yesithathu ukubonelela isisombululo esichengileyo sokuba abathengi bathenga kwiintengiso kwaye babambe uxanduva lokulungisa nokugcinwa kweendleko, ixabiso liyancipha kakhulu. Kuze kube ngoku, iTiVo, Ceton kunye nezinye iinkampani ziye zazama ukufumana abathengi ukuba bahambe "bathenge ibhokisi" xa kufike kwikhebula. Ngezinye iikhathalo ezibhaliweyo ezibandakanya ii-MSOs, kunjalo, ezinokuqala ukutshintsha.
Ngokomntu, ukuba ndiyazi ukuba ndifumana amava angcono, ndiza kuvuya kakhulu ukuhlawula iinkulungwane zamadola amakhulu kwisigqibo sesithathu. Enyanisweni, ndenza. I-PC yemidlalo yasekhaya kunye ne-Ceton InfiniTV4s ezimbini, ndenze isigqibo sokuba ndifuna into engcono kunokuba i-MSO yam inika. Njengoko ii-TiVo kunye ne-Moxi zixhobo zibonakala kwintlango, kuthemba ukuba abathengi abaninzi baya kubona ukubaluleka kwezi zixhobo. Xa unokufikelela kuyo nayiphi na inkonzo enokusasaza oyifunayo kunye nayo yonke into ekhethiweyo yekhebula (kuquka iVoD), kunengqiqo ukuhamba kule ndlela.
