Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and New York-based Boxee Inc reported on Thursday that they decided on a means for showing encrypted cable channels on the startup’s gadgets, which can be linked to a television to broadcast Internet video and TV programs.
The deal, announced in a letter filed with the United States Federal Communications Commission, may resolve fears by Boxee that increased encryption of programming may leave its boxes not capable to access basic-cable TV channels.
Cable companies like Comcast mention they want to securely transmit basic services so as to lower piracy and disconnect cable remotely, lowering costs by cutting the need to send technicians.
Boxee Chief Executive Officer Avner Ronen reported in an interview that cable companies would offer hardware or modify existing analog-to-cable converters to allow them interface with third-party set-top boxes if the deal approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
