Re: [TWC] New HD channels for San Diego
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. |

1 edit | 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. |

2 edits | 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 ;-( |

SoCal | 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. |
