This is a tiny out of left field, but it could also be interesting. Time Warner Cable is planning on releasing a set-top box to its customers with a built-in cable modem to grant them to watch “Internt TV” on their TVs.

The thing is, there’s no additional information on what this might be. Time Warner already has set-top cable boxes with full digital and HD abilities, so what this additional device will give customers in addition is a mystery. And why they don’t just build the ability into future standard cable boxes is as well.

We’re guessing it’ll be some sort of DRM-friendly BitTorrent streaming box, but until we get more information, we have the ability to only guess.
