How does a 100% Digital Network or Digital Simulcast work?
Today, signals for our Cable Basic and Cable Plus line-up are received in a digital format and converted to analog before distributing over the cable network. These signals are distributed as analog signals so that all customers that have a cable-ready television without a digital tuner can view these channels without any additional equipment. In the case of our 100% Digital Network, the digital signal from the programmers would be distributed in both a digital and analog format allowing all customers with a Digital Television or HTC Digital Cable set-top box to receive the digital signal on all channels.
