Re: analog analog analog analog analog analog said by MOTO6809:said by dmeyer: while scaling back its analog channel count from 74 to 68 This doesn't make sense. They don't need a 1ghz plant to provide 100+ HD channels and 200+ SD channels. I agree with your statement, however I think they should have went from a 5-42Mhz upstream to a 5 - 72Mhz at minimum, that would give them a total 9 or 10 USABLE channels for upstream QAMS. IMO that would put them in a very good position for competing with data rates for at least 10yrs.. Even better a with a higher 105MHz split return. |

1 edit | Well they are banking on reducing node sizes to 250 homes passed taking care of narrowcast services like upstream data.
Then analog customers don't have to ask "Hey why does our lineup start at ch 7 instead of 2?" |

| That only helps if the VOD service group is isolated to that single node of 250 subs. Likely the VOD service group is larger and they simply burn more channels for VOD. It's a matter of what is cheaper....More eQAM's or larger service groups. Also with SDV becoming a more viable option bandwidth can be "found" there. |
