The Cable TV Obeys the Years That Will Be Forgotten by the Next Generation

Once upon a time, cable television was the main channel for the dissemination of mainstream culture and mainstream values. Various television stations were the source of these mainstream cultures and values. From the perspective of market economy, if cable TV disappears, it must be because it no longer meets people's needs, so that the Internet will become the channel for mainstream media.

In terms of user experience, a good user experience is the key to success. In an open Internet environment, improving the user experience and timely improvement based on technological updates may change the fate of cable TV. Since Internet TV boxes can upgrade ordinary TVs to smart TVs, can cable TV boxes do it? The answer is yes.



However, the main reason for the failure of cable operators to develop smart set-top boxes that can be networked is that after the scaled development of networked intelligent set-top boxes, the encryption technology system currently adopted by Radio and TV solely relying on technology closure will not become secure. Security, that is, CW network sharing can be easily implemented on a smart set-top box, resulting in the loss of cable television viewing fees.

Regional operations of cable television do not require interconnection. Operators do not have sufficient knowledge of the dangers caused by closed technology systems, and they are insufflated to use private closed encryption technology as a matter of course. Highly closed private CA encryption technology Has been considered the mainstream, fragmented fragmentation of the broadcast and TV terminal market is not scale, non-market operations can not form a continuous driving force for technological innovation.

From the perspective of manufacturers of smart network television equipment, cable TV that cannot cooperate with them has apparently become a competitor. They set up servers to carry out live television services and can provide many more live channels than cable television and erode the cable television market. Although it is inconsistent with related policies, it satisfies many people who want to watch both the on-demand and live TV broadcasts, resulting in the rapid loss of cable TV users. Subsequently, the new IPTV as a regular army completely ended the fate of cable TV.
