Re: Time warner SDV deployment
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. |

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

Yes, there is a solution, it's called a "tuning resolver" and it's a modem sized unit that'll be issued by the cable company for these sorts of situations. The Tivo will need a software update and an open USB port.

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,
