<description><![CDATA[Since SECV has sent out letters to all customers I guess I can now report that a 6 tuner DVR is coming soon. They are currently testing the Arris Whole Home Unit, which is based off the old retail Moxi DVR. I assume that there will be new guide software to boot but I can not confirm this.
I do not know if they will also test the Pace/Tivo 6 tuner DVR that Comcast is using before they make any decisions.

In January, SECV also purchased Shen Heights TV in Shenandoah and will rebuild the whole distribution system from the ground up. They will be combined with the Hazleton/Mahanoy City systems.
Also the SECV Mahanoy City office was closed for good on March 15th and all operations moved to Hazleton.

Starting May 1st new internet speeds will be available in all systems, except Mahanoy City, as all upgrades to DOCSIS 3.0 are now complete. This is the expansion that some have seen at the various headends. Mahanoy City customers have to wait for the completion of the fiber optic hub to get the new internet speeds and finally have all TV services coming form the Hazleton headend.

There is also more 3DTV, HD, On Demand programming, TV Everywhere, and faster internet speeds coming this year. I do believe that some TV Everywhere has already started.

I was considering purchasing two Tivo Premiere 4s but may hold off to see how this whole home setup works and what its monthly cost will be.]]></description>

<title>SECV internet issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28015248</link>
<description><![CDATA[Since Wednesday I've been experiencing extremely high packet loss of 80%+ somewhat sporadically. It started some time after 6pm on Wednesday and continued through the night and Thursday morning. I talked to someone at the cable company Thursday morning and was supposed to call back if I had any further issues since it was alright at the time. Of course I had no issues until after 5pm when they close, again for the entire night until about 7am Friday. I left them a message and they sent someone out Friday afternoon to check the line. He said he fixed something local before he came to my house since someone else was having issues and ran tests for a while here and it looked ok. It looked ok for me too with my traceroutes/pings, until just before 6pm when it was running at the extremely high packet loss again. Now I'm stuck the entire weekend not being able to do anything that requires a constant connection as I don't know when it's going to go out next.

There is one major thing to go along with this, being that on Monday I called and got my SB6121 mac address put in and started using that over an Arris rental. All was fine until Wednesday evening, a little over 2 days after swapping. I knew I should have had them swap me back to the Arris today before they were closed for the weekend. 

I have no idea if the modem could be causing this. I have spurts of 10-30 minutes where the packet loss is so high I'm unable to do anything, and then can be ok for probably an average of about 30 to 40 minutes. During the packet loss, the modem gives me T3 timeouts from no ranging response.

I'm also confused as to why it's happening between the hours of about 5pm to apparently 7am (or later) but is alright during the mid day hours. If it was a peak traffic problem, I wouldn't be seeing the packet loss at 4am, yet I am.

I am going to attempt to see if my cousin who lives nearby is having issues at the same time over the weekend, which would eliminate the modem as being the issue. Sadly the cable company is going to be of no use. Not only do I have to wait until Monday, but they don't work during the hours these problems are occurring, so I'm not sure how they're going to pinpoint the problem when they run tests during the day when the issues are not apparent.

Edit: I forgot to mention that at no point do any lights on the modem go out, and it doesn't reboot from T4 timeouts very often. The line stats also look ok when the problem is happening.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[According to this thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26989611-Blue-Ridge-keeping-up-with-HD

It was reported that they were using SDV to carry all of the premiums in HD.  I'm in a BRC area now, and while they have a great selection of Hd channels, they do not have all of the multiple screens of premiums in HD.  They only have the 1 main premium in HD: HBO, Max, Show, Starz.

Which BRC area has all the premiums in HD?]]></description>

<title>Modem problem...or something else?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28286898</link>
<description><![CDATA[Greetings everyone.

Over the past few days, i've been having issues with my internet connection. I have been getting about 5 to 6 second lag with loading webpages on occasion. Not sure if it's a modem or line related problem. 

Here's one of the latest tests I have ran over the weekend.

And here is a screenshot of my modem status page if that is a help to anyone.

So is my modem busted, or is it line related?

Thanks in advance.]]></description>
