Like the thread says, Who here can play games on their digital cable box? What cable company is it and what kind of digital box do you have?

I've seen games on Scientific Atlanta boxes, but NEVER on Motorola boxes. Are the SA boxes really just that much more superior? Will Motorola programmers ever get on the ball and create some fancy pants applications for this platform?

Cablevision has a few different arcade game packages you can subscribe to. They are exclusively Scientific Atlanta users.

Some other systems have Buzztime games and Passtime games. Why is the Motorola platform so archaic? You would think these small improvements would just add to the value of having a digital box.

I have Comcast and a Motorola 6412p2 and a DCT-700. Why is Comcast so slow to offer this kind of functionality? You think the biggest cable company in the US would be able to figure out games like the smaller operators can.
