I been having one channel all this time. How do u get 8 channel upstream? If they are not actually yet configured / available on your local system, you can't.. I don't think that there are 8 upstreams anywhere yet in the Comcast footprint.

Going much lower in frequency also means more noise. Going higher means changing alot of equipment to allow the higher return frequency.

There is only so much return path spectrum currently available.

Yes, the most upstream channels I've ever seen so far are 4, with another area in CA, like Berkeley, managing to squeeze in three 64QAM channels and one 16QAM one: »Hillsborough/San Mateo, CA Also see this previous thread: »4 Upstream Channels

Ones from the last year or two support it, but anything older than that doesn't. -- The Comcast Disney Avatar has been retired.

andyross Premium,MVM join:2003-05-04 Schaumburg, IL	Actually, I thought current modems only support 4 upstream. I'm too lazy to check if the newer 8-down modems also support 8-up.
