Not All Areas May Get National Line Up?

Greetings,

Someone asked at one of the TWC forums why the channel line up for SD/HD is not uniform, and was told that the national line up may not come to all areas because TWC would have to replace about 20% of the boxes, and some divisions claim that they don't have the money to do that. Is this true? Also, how does SDV determine when, or whether or not you will get the national line up?

hmm that seems like a BS answer all boxes are capable of the NCL it seems like a bogus answer as TWC has deployed digital simulcast in pretty much all areas so if an HD channel isn't offered the digital SD version is displayed. SDV has no effect on the NCL rollout. more like TWC stopped rolling it out due to the pending merger I think.
