IP-enabled clear QAM devices

What is Cox’s solution for the IP-enabled clear QAM devices referenced below? If I am reading this correctly, this would be a solution totally separate from the “mini box” that allow users like me that have a boxee or HDHR tuner to continue to use these products. Thanks, Austin Re: Basic Service Tier Encryption; Compatibility Between Cable Systems and Consumer Electronics Equipment, MB Docket No. 11-169, PP Docket No. 00-67. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-12-126A1.doc#_Ref314690569 20. To mitigate any harm to the small group of consumers that may use such devices, NCTA’s six largest incumbent cable members–serving 86 percent of all cable subscribers–have committed to adopt, prior to encrypting, a solution that would provide basic service tier access to third-party provided IP-enabled clear QAM devices.92 Pursuant to this commitment, these six cable operators will make basic service tier channels available either via connection from operator-supplied equipment or by providing access to the operator’s security technology. Specifically, these cable operators have proposed to either (i) provide a converter box with “standard home networking capability” that can provide IP-enabled clear QAM devices access to basic service tier channels on the same terms proposed in the Encryption NPRM (“Option 1”),93 or (ii) enable IP-enabled clear QAM devices to access basic service tier channels without any additional hardware through the use of commercially available software upgrades (“Option 2”). 94 NCTA proposed to sunset these commitments three years after we adopt this Order unless the Commission extends them.4 Boxee and CEA argue that these commitments do not sufficiently support the operation of IP-enabled clear QAM devices. Instead, they advocate that all cable operators should be required to make the basic service tier available to IP-enabled devices without additional hardware. 96
