It'd take probably oh...I dunno...6, maybe the capacity of 8 analogue channels to duplicate a 70 channel lineup in any area. That's what I meant, dump the tiers...you gain back those 30 channels, duplicate them on digital...and you're left even at that point with lets say 24 6Mhz channels...2 HD channels per frequency...you have 48...even as a worst case scenario.
But again, does Cogeco have the stomach for it?  They have deep pockets now...the question is do they upset the apple cart...or use the Deep Pockets to buy more cable systems out?
MrShag: Its just not possible to do what you are suggesting. Since those without HD boxes wouldn't be able to watch, the technology just doesn't allow for what you are looking for unfortunately.
Same reason why Non-HD boxes can see the HD channels in the lineup, but obviously cannot see (can sometimes hear) them . |

said by DrDog:There are 700s starting to show up here in Niagara I thought I saw 2 through 80 being digital on my aunt's box when she lived in the west end of St. Catharines, but it may have just been the way the picture was being displayed by the box, and I certainly have not seen anyone in St. Catharines or the Falls since then with the analogs duplicated in digital. Good to hear that it's happening, though.

Sarnia, ON | Yea the Windsor area has 2-80 digital mapping and 900-980 analog mapping for the dct's other than the 700's, no analog tuner in those. |
