I can't wait until Cisco (who owns Scientific Atlanta) to buy out Motorola's cable-box/modem division, so I can finally get a box that works, that doesn't need unplugged everyday. (Or dropped out a second story window.)
No. What will actually happen is that the box will continue to crash even with Cisco's name on it. Some poor slob at the cable company will open a TAC case with some guy who can barely speak english, and after 5 hours of that guy going through every troubleshooting flowchart Cisco has, they will finally determine that it's a firmware problem and a month later they'll release new firmware that hasn't been fully tested, so the customer can beta-test it for them on a production network.
