Time warner SDV deployment

Interesting to see Portland Maine market on this list, as I was not aware this had happened yet.

I also want to know where this data is coming from. As far as I have been able to surmise under my own investigation and by reference from Rombus , the NEO division neither has OCAP nor SDV deployed which are both listed in your data.

Not calling it all false, but would like clarification on the source of this data. I haven't been aware that TWC has been active in deploying in so many franchises now let alone at or before Nov. 2007.

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz

All markets should have OCAP, unless the only boxes that are being issued are refurbished boxes.

Well contact ANDYHDTV on the avs forum and ask him where is getting the info. He is right for my division with the ocap deployment in southwest ohio.

We're reaping the benefits of SDV here. 14 new HD channels announced.

reply to Vchat20
Well, my division (MidOhio) only has OCAP on the HD boxes.

What's OCAP anyways?

I find it interesting that New York and Texas divisions always get upgraded first. Not just SDV, but in general.

- Rochester and San Antonio were two of the first three franchises to get Start Over
- Rochester was the first to get upgraded to 7Mb Road Runner
- San Antonio was one of the first to get upgraded to 10Mb Road Runner Turbo
- Rochester and Syracuse were the first ones to get upgraded to 10MB Road Runner and 15Mb Road Runner Turbo
- San Antonio and Austin were the only ones to have Starz HD and Cinemax HD for a while
- Rochester and Syracuse were amoung the first to do digital simulcast of the analog line up
- Rochester is one of the few areas to offer Voice Mail at no additional charge and Caller ID on TV has been avalable for at least 2 years now here.

Any new box being issued will be an OCAP box, odds are must systems if not all are only purchasing HD boxes and HD DVR boxes at this point, no point in buying new non HD digital boxes.

Steve Mehs- OCAP (now called Tru2Way I believe) is the OpenCable Platform. It's basically a set of middleware for the separate security (Cable Card) boxes. Any new box being issued to a customer after July 1 2007 needs to be an OCAP box, however refurbished boxes can still be issued.

Thanks, I knew about that I just didn't know what it called called. I thought all franchises were now handing out C and HDC terminals.

Just a point, the list is incorrect for SDV Deployment.

Yeah, we have SDV in Austin, and they've deployed a bunch more HD channels (still not on a par with the satellite providers).

I know which channels are SDV because they often put up a screen with the message:

"Channel not currently available."

This lasts anywhere from a few minutes to hours and seems to occur randomly. When I call Time Warner they tell me to "reboot my box" which is BS because it's not my box. Then I ask them to check it themselves and they respond, "We can't. We don't have an HD TV here in our support area." They have to call up to someone else to check it. Unbelievable.

Like stated before northeast ohio does have ocap boxes. My area was motorola boxes the other day one of my boxes died and it was replaced with a sa 8300hdc with mystro software.

I am curious how SDV will affect my Tivo since I am in the Dallas area?

Have you seen it in action at all yet? Does it work well?

Kevin,

I've been waiting a while to get more HD out of my box, here in Plano. So, are you saying on March 27th we'll be able to receive all those channels on my HD tier?

Thanks,
