Re: hd updates for the Reading, Pa area
Well Bend Broadband just completed it's all digital conversion. They have 750 MHz systems and recovered over half of that bandwidth by removing analogs. They now have 71 HD channels with at least 5 more coming this month alone. This year they are doing DOCSIS 3.0 and IP simulcast shortly thereafter.
RCN is another provider that in all but the Lehigh Valley have completed the all digital conversion.

If Comcast would do this to Reading, it would be the savior to all our bandwidth needs. Not only that but it would help the more important worries such as theft of service. Those analog modulators could also be sold and some money reclaimed in the process.
Pass that along to upper management. We want DTA's! We want HD! We want DOCSIS 3.0! We want a better DVR experience! I know a few people who are currently SERIOUSLY looking into DirecTV in the Reading system. What I'm telling them? Go for it. Until the Reading system improves, I will not defend it. I think loosing subs is something to worry about. |

Avis, PA | According to a tech here in my area, we were just updated to DOCSIS 3.0 last week...
Not sure what that means because the same tech told me my system was 750mhz, when everyone here says its 860! |

Lebanon, PA | They probably have the CMTSs installed in the Reading headend. Freeing up the channels needed, testing, and implementation is a whole different ball of wax. |
