Ars gets sneak-peak at Microsoft Mediaroom

Microsoft’s Mediaroom (formerly IPTV) is looking like a real contender for set-top boxes now.  But, I wonder what MS will be able to entice the cable and satellite companies with that Tivo apparently couldn’t?  Is anyone else having a "Back to the Future" flashback by the quote below?

Mediaroom is capable of displaying up to 16 separate video streams at once in a 4×4 grid. "You can watch a basketball game in 720p with players on teams in your fantasy league displayed below in low-res picture-in-pictures and switch streams at any time."
