Their job postings indicated one software engineer position in Ft. Lauderdale - and they were looking for C. Their search engine turned up a product they call MAXAda. I was unable to find enough information about targets to determine if it was somehow usable for building STB apps. (Price ranges and host platform info might be nice too!) Its a hopeful sign that someone out there is building Ada and also involved in cable video. I would like to see more about how they might be involved in the "Linux for STBs" movement afoot in the industry.
