TiVo said (CD July 18 p14) the EchoStar v. FCC decision this year by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated rules that include standards for encoding of signals and conditional access “that cable operators, content providers, equipment manufacturers and consumers have relied upon for years,” the bureau said in a public notice (http://bit.ly/143MroP). Comments are due Sept. 16, replies Oct. 9, it said.
