TVMAX, a Texas-based cable provider for MDU (multiple dwelling unit) housing communities, is apparently gearing up to make the switch to all digital. Curiously enough, the move was announced on the same day that RCN began migrating its Chicago customers to a purely digital network, too. Reportedly, the firm has laid down the coin for a complete headend solution from Scopus in order to support the cutover, and it will also rely on that firm to manage and monitor the system once installed and flipped on. When exactly the whole "flipped on" thing will go down, however, still remains a mystery.
I've got TVMax cable. It is the worst cable provider I've ever had, and their partner for broadband, Ygnition, is the worst broadband provider I've ever had. I can only hope that this switchover improves service, but somehow I don't think it will.
Their name sounds like an off-brand TV provider that would sell set-top boxes at K-Mart or something.
