Re: DOCSIS 3.0 said by fiberguy:Did you give your post much thought before you sent it? or.. what? If they can stream a few hundred MB to each home, how is that silly? If each home has that BW, they stream channels to each home, it's unlimited channel capacity. You said: "The most IPTV in a cable system will be used for is VOD." Cite your source.. I did. My information comes first hand.. and yours...? Honestly, your post make no sense.. I'm done. And did you put in any thought at all before you sent your post?
Cable already sends hundreds of megabits to homes right now. No, it's not all over a broadband modem, but the fact is, the coax is sending hundreds of megabits to people already. In the form of QAMs, analog channels, and DOCSIS, all combined on the same coax.
So again, I'll say cutting it down to 100 to 200mbit would be silly.
And I know my information comes first hand as well, so I'm not going to cite a source, just like you don't cite a source. Why would cable companies go backwards and use IPTV, when QAMs are already capable of delivering video to existing cable boxes?
From your first hand knowledge, cable companies really want to replace their customers' set top boxes with inferior set top boxes?
Your post was the one that made no sense. And now, you're really done. | |  fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 1 edit | wow.. just wow.
For the record... I've had my hands in head end equipment for years... and you?
.. and why would cable use IPTV? Because unlike QAM, which is hard frequency based, data is data. You can have a virtually unlimited amount of programming choices via IPTV over the current system. And to answer your question.. why would they? I don't need to get that from you.. I'll listen to the engineers that are working on next gen tech. Not someone on BBR.
And yea.. unless you state your source, as far as I am concerned, you're nothing more than many people here who get behind their computer and repeat smack, often incorrect, in an attempt to fluff their chest up. My source was stated many times over and over. So don't try the "like you never do" because it won't work. | |
