Adara Technologies Inc. (www.adara-tech.com) today announced that Arctic Co-operatives Limited, based in Winnipeg, MB and which serves 33 community-based Co-operative businesses located in Saskatchewan, Nunavet, Northwest Territories and Yukon, Canada has chosen Adara Technologies to provide the co-op with an Advanced Video Solution that includes upgraded UHD-4K video quality and an Advanced User Experience.

Millions of digital cable set-tops that use the “PowerKEY” conditional access (CA) system originally developed by Scientific-Atlanta decades ago could go on the blink in late 2024 due to an internal computing clock issue that will cause the devices to “time out” and become inoperable.

Boiled down, the internal clock of those boxes – based on a so-called “epoch time” that sets the zero point/starting time in certain computing systems – will effectively roll over in November 2024 because of memory limitations in the secure microprocessor that keeps time. That time rollover won’t prevent the underlying PowerKEY security system from operating as designed, but the clock on the box’s secure micro will no longer match up properly and will therefore prevent the set-top from decrypting video.

Dear Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Ryan, Majority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Pelosi:

As discussed below, we respectfully request that you reject efforts currently underway to use the Congressional Review Act to restore the FCC’s Title II regulation of internet access service, popularly known as the “net neutrality rules.” We oppose the net neutrality rules because of their harmful impact on the economy, including small and mid-size broadband manufacturers. We ask instead that you focus on passing a long-term, bipartisan legislative solution to the net neutrality debate.
