Albany TW's CableCard rental fee is $1.75/mo; their STB is $8/mo. I wonder what their motivation is?]]>Feb 27th 2008 3:55PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/Feb 27th 2008 5:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/
We will be doing this with our West coast feeds of the Pays soon, but currently we have 5 HDs on SDV and when the channels lauched, we never provided them to CableCard customers.

But my 2cents on if these ppl should be upset.. Yeah a lil bit, but really at themselves.. When you really sit down and think about it, how is this any different than the HD-DVD/BluRay war. Ive sided with HD-DVD but Im not callin for a lawsuit against SONY... Early adoptors, CableCard 2.0 sets are just coming out now which support 2way communications which are needed for the SDV. So TRUTHFULLY not all CableCard customers will be left in the blue..]]>Feb 27th 2008 11:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/
The cable guys are going to have to deploy SDV to keep competitive, especially TW because FiOS is in their backyard. TW might seem bad here, but there's two inescapable facts: 1) HD eats up bandwidth like my mother in law eats pie, so they're looking to SDV to help manage it and 2) SDV needs a two-way connection, and the TV you bought doesn't have one. The "U" in UDCP stands for unidirectional. ]]>Feb 27th 2008 6:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/
I assume sdv will spread like wildfire. When are 3rd party sdv boxes coming out?]]>Feb 27th 2008 6:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/Feb 27th 2008 7:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/
You don't need a new cable box to do SDV. The new ones with the CableCard will work. The old ones, like your 3250HD, will also work.]]>Feb 27th 2008 8:00PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/27/twc-transitioning-three-hd-channels-in-albany-to-sdv-cablecard/Feb 29th 2008 5:52PM
