I’m posting this interview for you to see 14 years after it happened, while watching the video of it stream through a cable modem to a PC screen … so, watching myself rapturously wonder whether such a feat is even possible. Trippy, maaaan…
Please enjoy this CableLabs CableNet interview with Jeff Huppertz, then (2000) with Clearband — about this wacky new idea: stream TV through the cable modem to the PC screen. Crazy!

At the 2008 Cable Show in hot, humid New Orleans, I interview five participants in the CableLabs “CableNet” exhibit area. In order of appearance: Samsung’s Steve Goldstein, who demonstrates the latest in 3DTV; Synacor’s Jim Turner, discussing remote DVR scheduling; Michael Hawkey, demonstrating Sling technology; and David Nicholas, discussing how technology from Symmetricom can replace traditional “golden eye” video testers. Produced by the fabulous David Knappe with equally fabulous Joe Bondulich on camera and lighting.

In the fourth and final segment of this Western Show 2000 panel, we delve into that big gap between press releases and actual consumer deployments. What needs to happen in 2001 to change that? Stump: Broadband marketing and moving services faster. Baumie: VOD as an application cable’s competitors can’t easily emulate; HDTVs are a CableNET feature but they’re not in consumer homes.
