1 edit | Won't make a difference Unless the providers dedicate more 6MHz channels to HSI.
All this allows them to do is offer higher bandwidth to the end user (IOW offer the fat tier) but does little to solve the capacity crunch between the node and the head end.
This will be a benefit only after bandwidth is freed up (eg SDV, ditching analog, maybe MPEG4) and given to HSI. |

| Seems like this is targeted squarely at being the first step in an IPTV transition.
TW has replaced all of our gear around here with 1ghz capable equipment. That would be the perfect place for them to find these extra 6mhz channels, because all of the older cable boxes and modems can't tune to that range anyway!

| NO, NO, NO IPTV! They'll be the proverbial heck to pay with shareholders like me if they adopt something like that when Comcast has a perfectly good PPV system that hasn't even come close to its full potential yet. |

What capacity crunch between the node and the headend? That connection is fiber. |

Lol.. having a good system doesn't mean they won't do it.
If they want to compete with FTTH in the long run, they will most likely do it anyways.
IPTV frees up a LOT of capacity in the last mile on any platform. It is more complex to run/manage than raw digital TV.

right now watching HBO is like playing a NES game
with 256 Colors
It makes DVD Quality video(Upscaled to 1080P) look like HD |
