Analog format. Whatever. You knew what I meant.
But, they will have to remain analog for now, not QAM, unless they include the necessary digital receiver at no charge.
Sorry, no, I didn't know what you meant.
They do not have to remain analog. AFAIK, cable co's could go pure digital right now...now would the customers like it? probably not.
Just think if they were.. an 850 plant could have capacity for 270 pure non-bit starved 1920X1080i channels! Take that one D*!
Or we can figure it by D*'s HD-Lite standard....
135 channels/carriers * 40mbps = 5400mbps / 10mbps = 540 channels of HD-Lite
