Maybe this will drive down all of these costs?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22662281 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:12:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661386 You could get any combination of 3 boxes for FREE(no box fees) except the dvrs would be $5 extra.

To me that sounds like a better idea than what they have now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661386 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:42:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661337 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661337 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:34:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661132
This would get alot more people to quit complaining about switching to digital.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661132 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:57:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661088
750 mhz at a poorly balanced amp is 117 QAM/Analog slots. These provide:
20 analog (our current B1 line-up)
142 HD (52 are 2-1 mux, 90 are 3-1 mux)
minimum 216 to maximum 405 SD (minimum 8 to maximum 15 mux per QAM)
--average SD is 12-1 per qam, or 324 SD channels
4 Docsis 3.0 slots
6 VoD slots
and 4 dead-slots (interference, leakage, channel 3, etc)

That's more channels than customers in this area would ever buy. Digital Preferred isn't exactly the top selling package around here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22661088 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:48:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22660690 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22660690 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:37:42 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22660522 www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/cablech.html

mikedz4, you are on a 750mhz system with a "cap" analog channel on 119. (solid black/no audio analog send, it's very stable so it's possible that we can push out to 118. when frequency maps are changed, this channel sometimes carries a black and white checker-board signal for a few days)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22660522 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:05:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22656402 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22656402 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 09:24:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22655818 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22655818 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:55:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22655594 Also comcast worked on our sytem in 2005 to provide digital voice but once again i'm not sure exactly what they did.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22655594 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:18:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22654267 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22654267 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:42:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22653564 said by mikedz4:

how can the adelphia areas be receiving MORE channels/hd channels than those of us in att/tci areas? Did adelphia take that much better care than those of us in att/tci areas? Makes me want to move to an adelphia area, not only do they still have the sa boxes/guide but NOW they have more channels than the rest of us.
Right before Adelphia was broken up, they upgraded a lot of their markets, so they are relatively newer and better than some of Comcast, ATT, TCI markets.

Some had 870 MHz gear and DOCSIS 2.0 with 64QAM upstreams. While other's were as shitty as 550 MHz or 330 MHz, old outdated plant design, noisy return, messy wiring in the headend, total disorganized clusterf-.

Some were Motorola based with the old tan guide. Yes the TAN guide! Nothing sucks more!

Just like Comcast, it's a hit or a miss.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22653479 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 11:29:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22652922 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22652922 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:05:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22650689 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22650689 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:54:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-one-channel-moving-to-digital-in-pittsburgh-83-22648881 www.post-gazette.com/pg/09184/981453-67.stm from the Pittsburgh Post about the new HD channel and the channel moves.
