Digeo announced during the cable industry's National Show in San Francisco this week that it has reached a deal with Comcast for a field trial deployment of its Moxi DVR software platform in the cable giant's Huntsville, Alabama system. Moxi is the software behind the Motorola Broadband Media Center (BMC) that has already been deployed by Charter Communications in various markets and Adelphia Communications in Southern California.
Comcast is showing a fair amount of initiative in DVR lately, having inked a deal with TiVo last month and now with Moxi. It already has deployed Motorola high-def DVRs in the majority of its markets.
Samsung and Digeo also said that they have developed "Moxi II," which is essentially an upgraded, cheaper version of the current Motorola BMC with Moxi. The Moxi II from Samsung will also allow for multi-room high-def DVR capabilities using Mini Moxi II's, an upgrade over the also just-announced Mini Moxi that does not support HD. Adelphia and Charter will launch the Moxi II this fall.
