Comcast Tests Self-Install Kit For X1

[dfergie]

In a move that might accelerate the deployment of its IP-capable video platform, Comcast is testing a self-install kit for X1 in select markets, with expectations that it will launch the option more broadly later this summer.



Comcast declined to identify all of the areas where it’s testing the new kit, but an official said employee trials got underway in February, and customer tests starting just recently.

That would be interesting seeing how finicky the X1 is to signal strength and bad wires. They pulled a new wire from the pole and the original was around 13 years old, I would think that is newer compared to most of their customers. I can't see them saving any truck rolls with this system.
