You could not be more wrong.  With a little help from Cisco Systems (CSCO), soon every player in the TV market will genuinely be able to make such a claim.

Who would have thought that Cisco would go for the kill even before Apple gives birth to iTV?

Cisco has announced that it will pay about $5 billion to acquire a British software company NDS Group.

With solutions like the NDS Unified Headend™NDS Unified Gateway™ and VideoGuard Connect™, NDS has created complete end-to-endsystems that will enable you to maximize your content investment and revenues, push your brand and give your customers the flexibility to enjoy their content on all of the devices they own.’ …Read more at Forbes
