We’re about half way through Q4, and have yet to see the Moxi 3012 DVR – a CableCARD box utilizing Digeo’s own hardware platform (rather than the previous Motorola STBs) and intended for MSOs. Charter was supposedly scheduled to take delivery last quarter. But given Digeo’s prior shenanigans and missed targets, this latest set back … Read more
TWICE reports that Digeo will be releasing a HD CableCARD set-top box to MSOs beginning later this month and offering a retail DVR direct to consumers in January. Though I have to say the author was quite kind in his coverage. No mention that this cable box (or a precursor) was expected in 2007 or … Read more
Digeo’s long discussed next-generation (OCAP, CableCARD) Moxi cable box is on display at The Cable Show.

While Charter isn’t the only MSO deploying Moxi, I do believe they’re … Read more

CEO Mike Fidler (who I’ve enjoyed speaking with on a couple of occasions) has chosen to step aside and half the staff was cut today. Less clear is which of their upcoming retail products have been axed: … Read more
The Moxi Home Cinema HD DMR has arrived! At my place, anyway. If you’re interested in an early look at 50% of Digeo’s upcoming retail DVR duo, there may still be time to request beta access. However, you’ll be under NDA and expected to keep your lips sealed. This puppy’s hiding a few secrets… And … Read more
Just when I thought we’d enter a period of tech news radio silence leading up to the holidays and prior to CES early next month, Digeo is out recruiting for two betas. One product we knew about, the other we didn’t… First up is the Holy Grail for us geeks – public recruiting for a … Read more
