The Birdsboro headend is undergoing a huge expansion project again. The building looks like it will be double the size. Not sure if its for more call center staff, warehouse space or broadcast gear, but something big is in the works.
Cypher- Not sure if I mentioned - they recently moved & massively expanded the Sunbury headend as well.
Moved it over to Route 11 between Sunbury & Danville - since they acquired the "CATV" MSO - they wanted to be equi-distant between the two systems. -- "ONE team - ONE city - ONE dream!!"

Do they have a boatload of big dishes up there too? I swear they added a few more big dishes in birdsboro. Just wondering if they are all interconnected and if there is a primary receive site. If so it sure looks like Birdsboro is a major signal acquisition site. They also have a smaller building with a tower antenna in the Fleetwood, PA area. Thinking maybe it pulls in locals and back feeds it to Birdsboro for processing?
Anyway if with all the new added space they add systems to integrate TiVo Premire multi room systems with on demand working, I may consider switching. But they would have to add the rest of the premiums in HD as well.
