My area that is, NW Ohio and SE Michigan.<br /> <br /> I wish I could find my old email as I am sure he sent me something stating this, but it was awhile back and more than likely it is now gone off my computer.<br /> <br /> Jimbo</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Jimbos the Tampa Bay Area and Central Florida Brighthouse systems aren&#039;t the same. I believe they pass on the same quality HDTV though but one uses SARA software with Scientific Atlanta hardware while the other uses the Passport software with Motorola hardware.<br /> <br /> Tampa= SARA with SA hardware.<br /> Central Florida= Passport with Moto hardware.<br /> <br /> I hope this helps you out just for your information.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I don&#039;t want to sound mean,or rude ,But this thread is called &quot;Will Directv really be a leader&quot; NOT ,,&quot; Does Brighthouse compress its signal&quot; We Know Directv does,so thats that IMO. Its about 2 pages long about Brighthouse. Maybe this could be a new thread in the Brighthouse Forms. I&#039;m in this Directv thread to talk about Directv being an HD leader,lets get this cable talk out of here. Thank you.</div>
