Re: probably
Then how do you explain "digital cable" equipment like TiVo Series 3 working and Motorola 3416's working?
FIOS TV saves 2 QAM channels vs. cable due to not having internet data on the same line. That's it. There clearly IS a bandwidth crunch, that's what's creating the HDTV channels limitation that created this news article to begin with. 135 QAM channels @ 6mhz = 800mhz. Cable TV is pretty much the same (some markets have been upgraded for more capacity than others)
The technology is what it is. I don't doubt Fios has a superior picture to your cable. Maybe the cable company just doesn't give a crap about quality?
