Apples said to be working on a set-top box that many hope will revolutionize the way we watch TV, but according to The Information, we shouldnt expect to see it this year. The project has reportedly been held up by Apples inability to strike the necessary deals with cable providers, which are said to be concerned that Apple might eventually replace them as the company that consumers look to when theyre shopping for TV services. The potential merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable is also reported to be one of the issues that Apple sees as holding up the deal. Of course, rights issues have long been reported to be one of the major roadblocks in Apples plan to take on TV.
