Mindless Juices

So, tonight (if all goes well), TWC Raleigh will be digitally simulcasting all of the current analog channels (0-77). That means that if you have a digital box, your picture and sound will never be converted to analog on the TWC network. We receive most of the signals from the broadcasters digitally. Then, we downgrade them to analog and put them on the lines. We'll continue to do that for those customers who have regular cable ready TVs without a cable box. But, starting tonight, we'll also take those digital signals and send them to our digital boxes. The result is a digital picture and digital sound that should be clearer and better... better edges, better color depth. However, if you have a problem on your digital frequencies (especially on channels that you don't watch and, therefore, don't know you've got a problem), then you're gonna find out tomorrow. So, just in case there's a lot of people who have this problem, we're planning and working hard to be ready to handle the extra call volume. So, even though it means a lot of work for me and my technicians, I'm still REALLY excited about this offering. We can definitely see the difference between a digital channel and an analog channel on our 32" TV. I can only imagine how much I would dislike analog if I owned a bigger screen. Not to mention that I love my sound system (Onkyo Receiver & Polk Speakers & Sub) and I will love having digital sound. I'm sure that Sabrina's favorite part will be that we should be able to hold more shows on the Divo, our DVR. The digital channels take up less space than the analog... since they'll all be digital... Now, we're only waiting on the broadcasters to up their equipment to get better pictures and sound.
