Re: [Windsor] cogecos lack of hd channels said by Snickerdo:said by nitzguy:push out some DCT700s Niagara doesn't even have the analog channels remapped onto digital, so DCT700s are useless here. 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 . |
