Re: Blue Ridge Cable said by cypherstream:There are other diagnostics pages that I didn't take a picture of, but all signs point to things being MPEG2. Though the Cisco 8652HDC should be capable of decoding MPEG4 and tuning up to 1 GHz. Though their SD (SA3200 / 2200) are only 870 MHz tuners with MPEG2 compatibility. I have the Cisco 8652HDC and all the multi-screen premiums. For Internet I have 4 bonded downstream channels, channel 1 is at 891MHz
I took a quick look at the diag screens but did not find info on whether it was mpeg2/4, I can look again later.
said by cypherstream:I just could not figure out if it was possible to do a 30 sec skip on the DVR. Didn't think it was possible, at least I couldn't figure it out. I do not think most cable company DVRs allow 30 sec skip, they do not want problems with the content providers.

Actually, many do...while the SA/Cisco DVR's, with either the SARA/Passport, or TWC Navigator do NOT, the following all do: Motorola/I-guide; while it's NOT "hard coded" on the remotes, it's a "hidden feature" that can be enabled, similiar to the Tivo's: » en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_to_use···ond_SkipThe new Arris Gateway & Player 6-tuner DVR does, that some ops are now deploying: » www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/_···UN11.pdfVerizon's FiOS & AT&T U-verse DVR's do Both DISH & DirecTV do, of course |

It's under mpeg info I believe.
What system are you on? Your profile says Yonkers, NY. Is that Cablevision or do you also have a place in the Pocono's with Blue Ridge?
I wouldn't be surprised if they were 1GHz. The line gear is newer CCor stuff and all of the documentation online (now through Arris) states 1 GHz. |

| I just moved to Monroe county and have had Blue Ridge for about 6 months. I still have Cablevision in Yonkers but probably will not for much longer.
I attached a jpg of the mpeg screen. I'll look at both my silicon graphics diagnostics and the rest of the DVR diag screens tomorrow.

| Ah ok, I was up in Pike County. Interesting how they launch these things by county. I thought all of that region was broadcast from Stroudsburg.
I don't see anything concrete in that screen showing mpeg2 or 4. I swear I saw it somewhere. It might of been in one of the subpages of one of 8 cable card diagnostics screen. Cable card diagnostics are on any box with a cable card (HDC model designation). |

| Sorry, I went through all the screens including the 9 CableCard screens and could not find anything.
I did notice that the bitrate on HBO and Showtime was well over 10mbps while the bitrate on HBO2 and another of the secondary premiums were below 6mbps with one of them at less than 3mbps.

AMC Networks & Fuse are ALL still controlled by the Dolan empire said by motorola870:you do realize Rainbow networks has not existed under that name for a year now right? They are called AMC Networks now and Fuse was spun off to Madison Square Garden so they are now on a different contract set than AMC, IFC, We TV. FYI - even though Fuse may have been "spun off" from the AMC Nets, it is STILL part of the Cablevision empire. Proof of this, & how they still have ties with each other, is the fact that Fuse has also now been restored on DISH, (which was dropped almost a year ago!) as part of a settlement with Cablevision - which restored ALL the AMC networks back on DISH.

Re: Blue Ridge Cable Slight difference in HD locals up in Pike County, at least from Milford, as you get locals from NYC in HD.
Hope NBA TV HD finally gets added in the next few weeks.

| Yeah they get NYC and Scranton stations. I forget which ones are in HD, but both DMA's are in SD at least.
Thought maybe the office in Hawley injected the NY locals. |

Anyone getting channel bonding with uploads? |
|
1 edit | No channel bonding that I can see now that I'm back up in the Hawley system for the weekend. Still no premium HD's either! The only way to know they may be coming eventually is when you go into diagnostic mode you can direct tune them but it says not available at this time. It looks like they take you to 453 MHz or around there. On 2 tuner 8652HDC showed one tuner at 903 MHz at -15dB and the one at 400 MHz was like +9 dB so I don't think anything of value is broadcasted that high.
The modem is running on 117 MHz.

My church has the SA WebSTAR DPC2100R2 modem and I was just taking a look at it's status page, and it's showing -12.5 dBmV Receive Power Level, 53.5 dBmV Transmit Power Level.
What's BRC's protocol for managing signal level such as this. As far as I know this is a direct line from the BRC box in our utility room.
I did a speed test using PTD's web test and got 4.04 Mbps down, 605 kbps up. I'm not sure whether we have the G10 or G5 package, do they over provision their product so we'd realistically get more than the upload speed provided by G5? Or does it seem that we have G10 but aren't getting the full advertised speeds?
(Used to my home internet from Cablevision which consistently over provisions) |

Lost downstream channel bonding in Stroudsburg. PTD support said bonding is now only for G30 and G50 pas.

HUH?
If the modem is D3 compliant it should bond if there are multiple channels there. Sure bonding only affects those speed tiers, but even if your not on that speed tier, the modem connects physically to multiple channels (if they exist). It's just throttled down to whatever package you pay for.
Even if you are on say 15 megs, channel bonding helps the network against contention from heavy users all pulling large downloads at the same time.
Like my modem with 12/1 through PTD.net over Service Electric Cablevision bonds to 4 downstream / 3 upstream. But my speeds are always consistent because the load is better managed into each node via the larger pipe serving customers. |

Still have 4 Downstream channels bonded. Blue Ridge, E Stroud. |

Do they have all the premiums in HD yet in Milford / Hawley area? I'm headed up there this weekend. Last time I was there they did not and also the modem wasn't bonded. |
|
| reply to cypherstream
Must have been a glitch. Rebooted modem this morning and bonding was back. |
|
| Well in the Hawley area they still don't seem to have channel bonding. It's one channel at 117 MHz.
While Passport Echo was updated to 3.7 since last time I was up here, the premium HD's are still not accessible! If I put the box I to diagnostic mode I can direct tune them, but get a new message now saying to update the box. In using a Cisco 8652 which is the latest (mpeg4, 1 Ghz tuning) so what else more do they want?
|

| reply to cypherstream
There is a new Auto-Tune HD option in the settings menu and I enabled it. The issue is that it doesn't work! If you tune to an SD channel, it does not switch to the HD equivalent.
I tried it on Passport Echo 3.7 Cisco 8652 and Passport 5.7 on Cisco 4652. Anyone know how to get this feature to work? They still tune the wrong channel numbers pretty frequently. |
|
| Seems like its not configured.
Can a subscriber email Blue Ridge this link so they can learn how to configure HD Auto-Tune?

I would email them but their website requires an acct number. I don't have my inlaws information. |
