Re: About Damn Time

Cable companies are testing a device called the Broadlogic TeraPIX.

This allows the operator to run all digital, and ONLY digital. The terapix sits at the side of the homes which wish to have a few analog TV's. It will convert a select number (up to 80) of digital channels into analog and broadcast it out a specific port (hooked up to a splitter that goes to all of your analog sets). The all digital line would go to your regular digital cable box/modem/voice gateway. Disconnects and Reconnects do not involve a truck roll because the device can be deauthorized remotely, like a cable box. (Very Secure) It's only in testing, so we'll see if it becomes a reality.

It doesn't necessarily have to be removed from a home. Does Verizon remove their ONT's off of homes for people that disconnect their service? Although all systems can come up with whatever policy works best for them.

Good Luck broadlogic, great concept, let's see if it becomes a feasible solution and if operators want to pull it off.
