Re: Lorna Lane, AL work center - inventory Q
Is there a way to check when or if my area will switch from the Moto box to the SA?
Either a work-center specific site or phone number?
If there comes a point where I can rid myself of the Moto, I will quickly take action. Just wondering how long I'm stuck with it.
Thanks |

There are no numbers to call to get such information. However, I can speak with authority on this matter.
It is highly unlikely there will ever be a wholesale switch from Moto to SA in the Hoover market. The cost to replace the thousands upon thousands of set-tops already deployed is just too great.
But, there is hope in the form of Sony's Passage technology (»www.sonypassage.com/ ). Passage is touted as enabling set-tops, from multiple vendors, to work with cable systems that have deployed vendor specific conditional access systems, such as Moto's DigiCipher and SA's Powerkey.
Charter has licensed the technology, but it remains to be seen if Charter will deploy it.
