A fairly nice lineup. 4SD mainly shows Padres baseball games and is exclusive to cable. It's sent via Fiber so it's covered under the terrestrial loophole. Also TWC San Diego that's not the ex Adelphia areas use Cisco so they use 725 as the HD VOD channel. The ex adelphia lineup is the same except no 725. CH. 1 is the VOD channel. TWC also uses navigator. 8 to 13 more HD channels are going to be added. 1 is a local indie station aka KUSI. CH. 13 is our MNTV down the way in Tecate, Mexico. Entravision and Televisora Alco don't have any future plans to add a digital signal but they probably should. Maybe Entravision is using it so they don't have to spend the money to transition to digital. Also XETV is also Mexican licensed but carries no Spanish programming. So San Diego relies on a few Mexican stations to carry the locals. Hope this helps. |

It looks like San Diego is getting Start Over coming soon. We don't know how long coming soon is but more HD channels will be rolling in soon I hope. May debut when those new channels are deployed. I'm sure the employees are testing it to ensure quality. Some areas without navigator have it but those areas use SARA. Start Over isn't new. Some areas have had it for a while. TWC San Diego probably updated their VOD servers that support this new feature. I assume it will be on limited channels. Still have plans to add 8 to 13 more HD channels. |

I am in the former Adelphia area (Carlsbad) and we are using Motorola HD DVRs. With this in mind, please explain (or point me to to a link) what is "Start Over"?
Also, any idea if this will be available in areas which support the Motorola boxes (VOD for us is on channel 1)?
As an FYI, we still do not have Navigator or "Caller ID on the screen" as they are not supported by the Motorola boxes. |

Thanks for the link. It's not available in 92008 so there is no mention of this on their local site. Seems like I will need Navigator... which means that TWC will need to change the HD DVRs from Motorola to SA (or whatever version is compatible). In any event, we have no idea as to when such a transition will occur here in Carlsbad... former Adelphia territory ;-( |

Navigator comes in an OCAP version and the newer Moto boxes may be able to run it.... not quite sure though. I've not had to directly work with or support Navigator yet... |

Start Over will probably need the new Samsung OCAP boxes. I hear the 8300HDC's with ODN work with motorola. The Ex Adelphia will probably upgrade to OCAP which can allow universal cable devices. SA 8300HDC also works with Motorola networks but they need moto cablecards. OCAP/tru2way will allow TWC to deploy universal cable boxes provided the headend is tru2way/OCAP. TWC had plans to port navigator to Moto but that plan backfired. This feature is probably for Cisco areas of San Diego down further south.
Edit: MacLeech pretty much ate my words. |

TWC San Diego is testing the new Samsung HD-DVR's. They have some cool new features. It will support OCAP and will have a widescreen IPG. The specs are quite nice. It doesn't have a 1 GHz tuner but it does support MoCA. It has a broadcom chipset and it seems to be a good replacement to the SA/Motorola boxes. |

Well MyTV 13 does have plans to broadcast digitally out of Cerro Bola in Tecate, BCN, Mexico. That means NBA TV HD will have to move it's channel to a different number since that will likely be the spot for XHDTV-DT. XHDTV-DT will start broadcasting digitally in 2009. It will be in 720p since thats what MNTV uses. With all the HD shows on MNTV then it seems logical to add it. MNTV is analog for now but it will happen. The killer app for this channel is Smackdown but MNTV has other stuff in HD like their sitcoms and their movies. |

An SD channel was added. TV Japan. 24 hours of Japanese programming in SD. All for a cool $25 a month. It's probably an SDV channel since not too many people will spend that much money on that one channel. |

Another HD channel is coming soon. Big 10 network HD and the SD version will come out. You will need the $5 sports pack in order to watch it.
Edit: Looks like Hallmark Movie channel is also going to be added. Both HD and SD. Lets hope TWC San Diego adds some better channels. |
