Should DTV Go This Way With The Next Server/Client Model?

I found these two interesting items at Google Fiber TV.

i hate client server models
anything at the tv should have a tuner.
having a server that is a dvr only is ok, but the client should always have its own tuner for live viewing

Are they still working on that one since they are trying to get UVerseTV customers to switch to DTV?

I found some California proposition 65 compliant doc and it had an HS17-100 listed as Technicolor genie server on an AT&T document. Went to technicolors site and their recievers look cool with an LCD display. I miss having the time on the box like with cable.

found the doc also
cant find any info on the actual box from directv or techicolor though

is it a uverse box?

Sorry that was that doc I found. Over at DSLReports forum they think the next server will go headless. I wonder if AT&T has decided to drop that and still go with one that outputs to 4k over HDMI using the Technicolor server?

i dont think att even knows whats next

but they really need to hop on the ball and get to it

Here are the two I found at Technicolor's web site. However they don't match their number.

I bet we see a box that will support IPTV, Uverse and Directv satellite.

This way they only need to worry about 3-4 models of set top boxes. Genie without and with a Dvr and clients and 4K clients.
