The apps that are used should have all On-Demand and linear content, but recording feature is not mandatory for the devices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was not what FCC was looking for though. The proposed rules of FCC were forcing the pay TV providers make right to record and video programming available to the other manufacturers of set-top boxes and software. Under the model proposed by FCC, the third party vendor software and equipment are allowed to make their own UI, through which, users can control and access the programs. This solution is much similar to the cable card, but the difference is that it does not need a physical card.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cable TV providers favored the use of an app model. In this model the pay TV operators has the choice to make apps that bring their programs to third party devices. It seems that the cable TV companies are not willing to give up the app approach, but they have now agreed to the rules making it mandatory for the operators to release apps that offer access to the video customers to subscribe on variety of devices, not only the television. This is applicable for the cable TV companies that have at least 1 million subscribers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_708\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-708\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-708\" class=\"wp-image-708 size-medium\" title=\"Pay TV\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DirecTV-Packages-2-e1466770017581-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"DirecTV Packages\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DirecTV-Packages-2-e1466770017581-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DirecTV-Packages-2-e1466770017581.jpg 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-708\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>Family Watching TV<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The representatives of the cable company said that the users would benefit more from the choices. \u201cUnder the new approach, consumers who want to watch their Pay TV service on different devices in the home could download a new Pay TV app to the smart TV, tablet, or other \u2018connected\u2019 device and start viewing without a cable set-top box.
