After a big splash at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2002, Moxi was set to become the next big star in the connected home entertainment space. Moxi’s hardware/software platform was supposed to enabled next generation set-top boxes to combine television services including a digital video recorder, digital music jukebox and enhanced DVD playback with Internet applications such as instant messaging, e-mail, Web browsing, and chat. But all its initial hype soon fizzled out when word spread of the merger between Moxi Digital and Digeo, Inc.
Now two years later, a press release from Comcast and Digeo, Inc. announces “a planned commercial trial of Motorola Broadband Media Centers (BMC) with Moxi™. Deployment of approximately 40,000 integrated dual-tuner DVR (digital video recorder), HDTV (high definition television) Motorola BMCs is slated to begin later this year.”
