Re: DOCSIS 3.0 What happens when they are using all the channels ? Do we get an error message saying that they can't get the channel to us yet ?
I can really see if there is a diverse city that this may happen. Wonder what happens if a DVR needs to go out and record a channel and there is no stream for it.
So many questions that never get real answers from these folks. They need to bring more capacity Verizon is doing it , I hope they don't think it's going to be any different for them.

| With this tech and which channels are broadcast and which channels are SDV is highly dependent on the area. They will have to look at the demographics and put the statistically lower use channels into SDV. Yes, this may mean that a channel may not be available if the system is not setup correctly. I doubt they would go too far in putting too much in SDV otherwise they would lose customers. The shows will be held at the edge router so it is not like the entire Boston area will be sharing the SDV bandwidth. It will be closer to the node, so that almost everyone on the node will need to be watching a different channel on SDV. They all would need to be different channels as once one person in a given multicast group starts watching a channel any number of people will be able to start watching that channel and no more SDV bandwidth will be used. |

I understand that , but what I am saying is what happens if all the SDV channels are in use and a dvr calls out for a channel ? Does it get precedence since it's a dvr ? I mean this could be another tipping point for some customers.
Me personally I am done with Comcast, I am waiting on a line test from covad for a dsl pair and dish network is scheduling an install for me soon.

You don't get an error message, the channel just doesn't load. It sits there on a solid colored screen and message reads "Channel not loaded."
