Though a bit behind their telcoTV competitors, Cox looks prepped to unveil their multi-room DVR service, announcing via press release that they'll be launching the service in an un-named market later this year. The release stays vague about additional market arrivals, only saying there's "additional launches to follow." There was some question on what in-home networking spec Cox was going to use, and it looks like they've settled on MoCA (Multimedia Over Cable Alliance), which will allow hardware to communicate throughout the home on existing coaxial lines.

YAWN!!

AT&T Uverse has had Total Home DVR for many months now. And Cox is somehow making news because they are about to try it in one, as yet unnamed, market? Big deal!

Heh, I would not even attempt to compare the Uverse system to Cox. AT&T is using smoke and mirrors to run their 12-30 MHz wide service through unshielded copper twisted pair. Watching AT&T HD at a friend's house I broke out laughing when his picture froze every time the phone rang. No thanks, I'll take my 1 GHz wide service any day thank you very much.

afaik, cox isn't fully utilizing the full 1ghz spectrum. they may have *completed* the eon upgrades, but all of the tuners in the cable modems and the stbs runs at 860mhz at the very max.

Re: YAWN!!

Agreed. The bandwidth capability is there, but the currently deployed residential hardware is not yet making full use of it.

Looks like the market is Orange County, CA. I just swapped my dead DVR for a healthy one and the customer service rep mentioned that they were about to receive multi-room devices.
