Njengamanye ama-opharetha amaningana amaningi asevisi amaningi, i-Mediacom ikhethe i- TiVo njenge-hardware ne-UI umhlinzeki wokuzikhethela uma kuziwa ekuthumeni isisombululo sekhaya se-DVR ngo-2013.
Isixazululo sekhaya saseMediacom sizoba ne-TiVo Premiere Q yesine yesitoreji se-DVR esangweni, amakhasimende we-IP aphezulu we-TiVo Mini kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-iOS kanye ne-Android. Kubonakala sengathi, i-Mediacom ibuye iphinde ihlinzekele i-Pace XG1, isilwane sesithupha se-DVR esiyi-DOCSIS 3.0 esifanele. Wonke amadivayisi we-Mediacom asetshenziswayo we-TiVo azokwazi ukuthola izinhlelo ezijwayelekile zethelevishini kanye nezinsizakalo ezidingekayo kanye nezinsizakalo zokusakaza nge-intanethi. Yiziphi izinsizakalo ezingabelwanga okwamanje kodwa ngethemba lokuthi kumakhasimende akwaMediacom lokhu kusho izinto ezifana ne-Netflix ne-Amazon VoD eduze kwekhasi lakho elivamile lekhebula.
Umhlinzeki oyinhloko
I-Mediacom ithe uTiVo uzoba ngumhlinzeki wabo oyinhloko kwisisombululo sabo sonke sekhaya. Ziyizinto ezilandelayo ohlwini olukhulayo lwe-cable MSOs enqume ukuthi iTiVo inesisombululo esingcono kunazo zonke esingayithola futhi ngaphandle kwe-Dayview ye-U-Comview, ngizovuma. I-TiVo ibilokhu ihlala isikhathi eside ngokwanele kuleli phuzu ukuthi bayazi ukuthi yini esebenzayo nokuthi yini engeyona. Akukhona lokho kuphela kodwa banomjikelezo omfushane kakhulu wokuthuthukiswa futhi bangashukumisa izibuyekezo ngokushesha kunanoma yikuphi i-MSO engibonile ukuthi iyakwazi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi amakhasimende angatholi kuphela ukufinyelela kokuqukethwe okuhlinzekwe yinkampani yabo yekhebula kodwa angasebenzisa futhi idivayisi eyodwa ekamelweni lokuhlala ukurekhoda lokho okuqukethwe, ukufinyelela okuqukethwe kwe-intanethi futhi ube nethuba elingcono lokuthola izibuyekezo zesikhathi esizayo ngokushesha kakhulu kunalokho inkampani yekhebula ejwayelekile ye-DVR ingahlinzeka.
Ubani & # 39; s UkuSebenzisa
Njengoba lolu hlu lwezinkampani zekhebula lisebenzisa ama-TiVo noma ama- Moxi amadivaysi njengeminikelo kumakhasimende aqhubeka ekhula, umuntu kufanele azibuze ukuthi sizobona yini iphuzu uma kungenjalo nje kuphela ukuthi i-TiVo inenzuzo, kodwa uma ama-MSO enquma ukuthi athola inzuzo engcono ( kubonakala njengemali engaphezulu) ngokuvumela umuntu wesithathu ukuthi ahlinzeke nge-hardware yakhe. Izinkampani zekhamera njengamanje (ikakhulukazi) zinikezela amakhasimende abo i-DVR ngemali yenyanga. Lokhu ngeke kuguqulwe kodwa ukugcinwa kabusha kwe-backend yokuphatha wonke lawa madivaysi kubiza imali.
Izindleko
Yiqiniso kuyoba khona njalo izindleko zokuba ne-hardware ensimini. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ochwepheshe baya emakhaya abantu ukulungisa noma ukugcina nje amadivaysi, akukho nkampani engayithola kuyo ngokuphelele. Lokho kusho ukuthi, uma inkampani yekhebula ingathola inkampani yesithathu ukuba inikeze isisombululo esingcono ukuthi amakhasimende athengise ekuthengiseni futhi abambe umthwalo wokulungisa nokugcinwa, izindleko zishonsa kakhulu. Kuze kube manje, iTiVo, Ceton nezinye izinkampani zihlukumezekile ekutholeni abathengi ukuya "ukuthenga ibhokisi" uma kuziwa ngekhebula. Njengoba kuneziphesheli eziningi ezibhaliwe ezihlanganisa ama-MSO, lokho kungase kuqale ukushintsha.
Ngomuntu siqu, uma ngabe ngiyazi ukuthi ngiyithola isipiliyoni esingcono, ngabe ngiyojabula kakhulu ukukhokha amakhulu amaningana amaRandi ngesisombululo sesithathu. Empeleni, ngiyakwenza. Njengoba i-PC yaseshashalazini yasekhaya ne-Ceton InfiniTV4s ezimbili, ngenze isinqumo sokuthi ngifuna okungcono kunokuba i-MSO yami inganikeza. Njengoba amadivayisi we-TiVo nama-Moxi amaningi abonakala endle, ngethemba ukuthi amakhasimende amaningi azobona ukubaluleka kwala madivayisi. Ngokufinyelela cishe kunoma iyiphi insizakalo yokusakaza oyifunayo kanye nawo wonke okuqukethwe kwekhebula okhokhayo (kufaka phakathi i-VoD) kungumqondo wokuthuthela kule ndlela.
