Finally got to see the DTA's.... It's a DC50x -

Pretty cool. They get channels 1-100, plus - it gives them all the Music Choice channels in the 400's...

(Even my mom didn't realize that...lol)

Oh, also - my brother had to get his DVR swapped out - he now has a Pace model.... they interchange brands of STB's on SECV like crazy... way back they had a Moxi, then a Moto, now a Pace...

Still looks like the I-Guide is a version from Sept of 2008.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-23478963 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 13:01:12 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-23360461

What do I need for each additional TV connection where I wish to view ALL channels in the Classic Cable Lineup?

You will need one of the following from Service Electric: a) DTA b) Digital Converter c) HD Converter d) HD/DVR Converter, OR a TV with a built-in digital tuner.

It's much faster than the DCT-2000, does scaled video in the menus, and it's running I-Guide A25. It has a cable card built inside of it, and composite A/V out jacks. It's really small.

She picked two up at the Sunbury office this past week.

She got it hooked up - then, the instructions said it would take up to 30 minutes for the box to activate - and that a red light on the front would blink until it was finished - and then would go solid.

So, I called back 30 minutes later, and it still hadn't registered, but as we were talking it went solid and the channels came in.

Now, they can watch Big 10 Network in the kitchen again! ;)

I've never seen a DTA in person, so not sure if Comcast is using the same kind.

Service Electric Cablevision going digital

Some customers will need to add adapters to TVs

Reading Eagle

Service Electric Cablevision is notifying customers it will be converting most of its channels to digital only.

That means customers without digital-ready TVs are going to need adapters to keep watching those channels.

The company, which serves about 33,000 customers in 30 municipalities in Berks and Chester counties, has prepared a notice explaining the changes.

Here are some basics from Service Electric:

Whom will it affect?

Customers with the Classic Cable package (channels 2 through 83) who use TVs that don't have built-in digital tuners. They will need a digital transport adapter for each TV that does not have a built-in digital tuner. To find out if your TV has a built-in digital tuner, check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.

How do I get an adapter?

Free digital transport adapters are being sent to existing Service Electric subscribers. That package will include details on how to order a second free adapter.

What if I have more than two TVs that need adapters?

Additional adapters will be available to rent for $1.95 month or buy for $50 each.

When will the digital change happen?

Service Electric has begun switching channels in some markets.

Am I getting any new channels?

Service Electric will add the Big Ten Network and 45 commercial-free music channels from Music Choice at no additional cost.

Why is this happening?

Most cable providers are switching over to digital. According to Service Electric, the move will create increased network capacity for more high-definition channels, faster Internet services and future products. The company also says digital signals provide superior picture and sound quality.

What if I don't install adapters on some of my TVs?

Those TVs should still be able to display broadcast channels carried by Service Electric, including CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CW, My TV and PBS. For the time being, they will be transmitted in both digital and analog signals.

How does the adapter work?

The digital transport adapter is a small box that can receive digital cable signals and convert them to analog. It will connect between the customer's cable outlet on the wall and the TV.

Besides customers with digital-ready TVs, who else doesn't need an adapter?

Customers who already have a digital or high-definition converter will not need the digital transport adapters.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Service-Electric-Cablevision-going-digital-23155253 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:32:26 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-23072959
They are using the following from this product catalog:
»www.arrisi.com/products/broadban···uide.pdf

Page 18 OptiMAX 4100 4x4 1 GHz segmentable node (In redesigned node's and new builds)

Page 20 OptiMAX 3100 2x2 1 GHz segmentable node (Replaces Diamond Line I guts in Magnavox housings - current nodes where no redesign was necessary)

Page 32 FlexMAX 601 1 GHz Trunk & Bridger amplifiers (upgrades to Magnavox housings) Also new C-COR housings in certain area's.

Page 34 FlexMAX 601-L 1 GHz line extender amplifier (upgrades to Magnavox housings)

Page 40 FlexMAX 321 Line Extender (upgrades to Phillips MMLE housings)

So this is why SECV has way more HD channels than Comcast in most markets. SECV has taken the time, along with contractor Cable Services, LLC. to upgrade the old Magnavox Diamond Line HFC system to new Arris (formally C-COR) 1 GHz technology.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-23072959 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:26:22 EDT Re: Red Zone Live http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Red-Zone-Live-23058505 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Red-Zone-Live-23058505 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:16:54 EDT Red Zone Live http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Red-Zone-Live-23057858

Deal is done!

Channel 30

HD 514

I found it interesting they mentioned QAM boxes in the story....lol. Even though it will be on 30 - it will not be analog. Good move by SECV.

For a few months on this street there was long slack of hardline extending passed the poles. The other day they finally got it cut to length and spliced in.

There's still a few of the larger devices with the MAGNAVOX brand stampped over them. The majority of the system is now C-Cor though. However after Magnavox became Phillips, C-Cor bought them out. So it's understandable that's the progression they made. The latest stuff will most likely bear the Arris name, because Arris bought C-Cor.

Modem levels are now +8 forward, 37 snr, +44 return. They said it's been stable as a rock since the amp was installed.

I checked it out and it's an Antronix amp which supposidly does return path by 10db / forward by 15db IIRC. It has 3 ports on it. 1 Input, 1 Output, and 1 for the power injector. The cable comes into it, then the output goes to a 3-way balanced (one modem, one DCT-6200, one analog TV). The DCT-6200 shows +40 for the upstream modem at 11 MHz.

They have a very long underground drop out in the woods. The pedestal is pretty far up the street. There's two drops from it, but the way the wiring is setup in the home, drop one goes to that amp+3 way at that end of the house, and the other drop feeds the downstairs, and a few extra bedroom outlets. It's not possible to easily split the modem on it's own drop, unless doing some wiring outside and drilling into the brick to the inside along the other end of the house and into the office.

There gonna leave it as is since everything is working, but if I have any updates I'll post. I didn't agree with the amp either, but at least it's a decent brand all of the levels are within spec and everything's working.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22403896 Sun, 17 May 2009 22:30:51 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22385358 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22385358 Wed, 13 May 2009 20:21:34 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22378237 Odd...

That same scenario happened to my mom's line - downstream and SNR were awesome - upstream was at 56.

I emailed SECV's Sunbury office - they actually wrote back two days later and said they had to do an upstream "sweep" of the lines - from then on it's been back in the low 40's.

I always love the fact they write back with what they actually did.

SECV came within a half hour of my Dad's service call, yeah a half hour... they put the Service in Service Electric!

They put an amp on the one line and that brought the modem upstream to about 48 dBmv and stable. I was really surprised they used an amp, I thought that was a band aid solution, but that's what they did after checking all the fittings and lines.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22375684 Tue, 12 May 2009 07:18:48 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22370135
It's a Motorola SB5100 modem, but oddly it doesn't tell you the modulation schemes or symbol rates. This just recently started happening, so I wonder if they went with a more robust upstream modulation, which took a borderline signal and caused it to fail... They used to run QPSK a few years ago when I lived there (The modems used to actually say that), but now the modems don't report it, but I'd imagine it's 16QAM or better.

Speed tests after swapping the cables resulted in about 9.8mbps down and 0.97mbps up.

Interestingly, their SB5100 modem is always blinking the activity light. I used to have an SB5100 with Comcast before I got triple play, and that activity light only blinked when you were doing something online.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-22370135 Mon, 11 May 2009 07:36:14 EDT Odd Find http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Odd-Find-22352941
It looks like they added 4 ANALOG channels to the lineup..

BET, Univision, American Life TV, and Fit TV.

Very strange...

They have been doing a lot of work the past two years in their service area down here. That's something I haven't seen Comcast do.



Rollers on hooks looked like this:

They need to get HD-VOD though. Any sign of that? What about their DOCSIS 3.0 plans? I still see them running fiber in Amity township / Douglassville area by the Wawa on 422 and 662. Also there are some developments down there that have a lot of ground dug up for new lines. Maybe when they are done upgrading that system they will do more stuff.

Didn't notice if they got Fox News HD, but my guess is they did.

Here in Sunbury - they also have Fox News HD.

Couple problems. Disney HD and Planet Green HD - major pixellation and breakup.

Checked the diagnostics - they are at 843MHz - SNR is showing Poor at 26.9 -

Looks like I'll have to send an email to SECV to have them come out and check things either at the amp up the road, or within the house.

It could be expected at that high of a frequency, but i'll send an email to explain the situation (better than my mom could) :p

At a friends house with SECV, the silver hardline at his tap was cut, and the tap was moved to a brand new BLACK feeder line, which was lashed together with the old, cut silver hardline. I haven't seen black hardline since Comcast in Pottstown and eastward. Everywhere from there to the west uses silver hardline.

So something's up with SECV. They must of built up a new system. I still see old 15 year old Magnavox trunk amps once in awhile. I still wonder if the guts were just swapped out for 870 MHz gear. The majority of the system is now C-Cor 870 MHz.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21123577 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:13:43 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21121640 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21121640 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:19:18 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21100947 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21100947 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:33:56 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21063521 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21063521 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:38:26 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21061876 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21061876 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:08:14 EDT Re: Service Electric Cablevision - Breaking News http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21061509 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Service-Electric-Cablevision-Breaking-News-21061509 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:48:53 EDT
