	Digital Home Canada - Canadian Technology
		Digital Cable still has not been fully adopted in Canada, which most cable companies in Canada, offering a number of digital services, while others are still in analog.
		This is primarily due to a shortage in cable vision bandwidth, which in most cases prevents a full digital cable programming offering in addition to a full analog one using a single cable line.
		In the meantime, Canadian cable vision companies charge a premium for digital cable services, in addition to an extra fee for rental of the digital decoder set top box, which is required.

	digital
		Digital refers to the property of dealing with the discrete values rather than a continuous spectrum of values: compare analog or analogue.
		The analogue to digital converter only has a certain resolution: whereas the human eye may be able to detect tens of thousands of different intensities of pure green, the CCD in a digital camera may only be capable of 256, and at a resolution of a megapixel or so.
		Smoke signals are one of the oldest examples of a digital signal, where an analog "carrier" (smoke) is modulated with a blanket to generate a digital signal (puffs) that convey information.

	Canadian TV -so many screens, so little worth watching. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Canadians are tired of waiting three years to see TV shows from HBO when they finally show up on network television, tired of being stuck behind the aging iron curtain of Canadian broadcast regulations and bored with the lack of choice provided by Canadian networks, all of whom are owned by the same three corporations.
		I subscribed to Vidéotron's digital TV service last summer and it's specious at best to be touting "integrity" while making it illegal to get American satellite signals since digital cable seems to operate with promise as its premise, luring viewers in with exciting promos but bearing a paucity of content, original or otherwise.
		Canadian digital channels have sprung up like dandelions in May, but after a few months, it's clear that promise has an expiry date and so does their programming, which seems to repeat itself endlessly while we pay enormous fees for equipment rental, service and installation.

	Digital Cable
		Digital cable is a term for a type of cable digital television that delivers more channels than possible with analog cable by using video compression.
		Where a cable set-top box was already required, cable DTV deployment makes little difference to the service seen by users, but allows operators to increase the carrying capacity of their networks with low marginal levels of investment.
		Digital teletext is supposed to provide interactive services, but for this a separate upstream channel such as a telephone line or ethernet connection is required.

	cable
		A bowden cable is a type of flexible sheathed cable used to transmit mechanical force.
		The term cable is sometimes used for the cable length, unit of measure.
		Cable is also used in reference to cable television.

		I have Digital Cable with Insight, but the only channels that are digital are the music channels, and the stuff coming out of computers at the headend for Insight, other than that I have over 100 channels of Analog.
		Maybe his cable company is doing exactly what he says, it wouldn't really surprise me. The Canadian cable companies(for the most part) push new technology out faster and do things that are less greedy than the American cable companies do.
		Cable shows noise, due to sateration from the amount of amplification and correction that has to happen going from head end to house, but for all in all, I will stick with cable, due to if anything happens, the cost is lower and you do not have a un-godly dish hanging off of your house.

		The cable industry says the CRTC must change a policy that prevents Canadian cable companies from carrying such popular U.S. channels as HBO, ESPN, Showtime and Nickelodeon if they are to compete with the fl-market U.S. dishes, now in more than 700,000 Canadian households.
		But the proposal is bitterly opposed by Canadian broadcasters who call it a "cynical cash grab" that would force cable subscribers to switch to digital service to continue watching such shows as The Sopranos, Sex and the City, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, now available on conventional Canadian cable channels.
		Cable association president Janet Yale told reporters yesterday that offering U.S. channels such as HBO and Showtime as digital services in Canada would encourage fl-market dish users to switch to cable or Canadian satellite services.

	broadband » News » Going Digital - Cable companies vary in approach
		Several cable companies should more seriously consider digital simulcasts in '05 (broadcasting their lineup in digital and analog) to facilitate the shift to all digital, notes Cable Datacom News.
		The dot noise is noticable for analog channels and when you switch to an analog channel the usual delay that occurs with digital channels is absent.
		With more than half of the digital channels are actually analog there is no real incentive to upgrade to digital and pay for extra STB rental fees etc. for me. When they go 90% or more digital (and preferably HDTV by then) then I will probably upgrade.

		It means you suffer through Canadian commercials and promos (during the Superbowl for example) and, if it’s the CBC you’re forced to watch, you lose the stereo – and therefore the surround sound.
		Digital satellite systems are in their infancy and should have a bright future.

		In fact, the whole specialty channel world - once accused of fragmenting the TV audience to the detriment of the future of traditional conventional broadcasting - is considered quite promising.
		A digital cable box is also attractive, it seems, for the interactive program guide, digital picture and sound, the a-la-carte flexibility and the digital music channel package.
		Satellite is already all-digital and cable is heading that way, but there's also the approaching telco factor that will accelerate the competition for customers.

	Digital Cable Margin Drivers - Increasing Retention Margins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cable operators could reduce the break-even penetration level by increasing their assumptions about the number of pay TV subscribers that would be lost to competition if digital technology is not deployed in the cable system.
		Conceptually, this strategy could be implemented by selling a package of channels at wholesale cost and thus increasing the attractiveness of the digital cable service offering.
		If such a strategy enabled cable operators to increase the retention rate to say 20% of pay subscribers, then the required break-even penetration level could be reduced to about 13% (see chart on following page).

		The addition of these channels should be at no extra cost to consumers, but the agreement is not a hard and fast promise, merely an attempt by the major cable companies to actually offer some DTV content to help drive the markets.
		Even though some channels will be sent via cable starting in 2003, the set-top boxes necessary to receive the high definition signals will not be rolled out to consumers until the end of 2003.
		Cable companies were hoping to offer hundreds of digital channels through fiber-optic connections.

	broadband » Cogeco Cable : All reviews
		I've lived with this cable service for 3 years, and really didn't want the headaches of switching, but Bell's offering 10 hours of dial-up included, so at least when DSL doesn't work, I can use their dial-up, all for the same price - $45/month or $39/month with a one-year contract.
		The building is about 15 years old, and I suspect it's not the cables because yesterday I measured my connection speed (while it worked) and it was 367k upload/ 3700k download for a minute, and then it dropped in a matter of seconds to 260/1020, and then it went dead again for hours.
		The hardware guy showed up again the very next day, strung the cable wire across the front of my house (beneath an eaves trough), drilled a hole through the side of the house, plugged the coax into the modem, and about 20 minutes later I was up and running.
