NEW YORK (AP) -- A top executive at Comcast Corp., the largest cable TV company in the country, on Thursday predicted that the cable industry would move toward adopting a networking technology that could significantly increase the use of digital video recorders.
Steve Burke, the chief operating officer at Comcast, told an investor conference that he thought that a trial of the new technology that was recently announced by rival cable operator Cablevision Systems Corp. looked promising, and seemed to be on a solid legal footing.
