Re: Really......
NO. It was because the ongoing switch from analog channels to digital channels made that drop non-serviceable.
RTA:
While that sounds stupid, the customer is slightly too far for digital services to work without extending the network plant, and that costs Charter money with no guarantee the customer will remain with Charter. --

| I thought something similar. However if you click the link to the original thread, the homeowner mentions that the previous homeowner had cable + HSI for 10+ years. While it's possible that Charter has done network upgrades that have since made the network incompatible, the fact that the previous home owner had HSI would imply that a decent digital signal was possible at some point in time. |

IF YOU GET the signal, it is better & clearer on digital. Digital is pretty much you get it or you don't. But if it is a weak signal, then analog will still work, even though the picture may not be very good.

Digital downside
said by DavePR :So digital is better how? Yup, digital is better for most people, but as this thread indicates, some users will be worse off.
This switch to digital is ALSO affecting over-the-air TV broadcast saturation. Some antenna users who were able to receive adequate analog signals will not be able to receive adequate digital signals after the change.
For example, see this:
