"Switched Digital" sounds like an IPTV bandwidth-saving scheme. Good for them [Time Warner]. Perhaps if they really want to get the maximum bandwidth possible, they should scrap analog cable completely and permanently write-off the cost of all of those krappy Scientific Atlanta analog cable boxes that look like the designer took the wood grain panels on the original Atari 2600 VCS as a design inspiration. Dump analog cable and drop basic digital cable down to the same price. They'd undercut the satellite companies, and they'd still probably triple their profits in the process. Nah, that's too smart of an idea for Time Warner Cable or Comcast.
