Time Warner Cable implementing SDV in Charlotte, NC
Time Warner Cable is keeping the SDV deployments a-rollin', and it sounds as if the next market to get hit is Charlotte, North Carolina. A local chimed in to let us know that he just recently received a letter in the mail from the carrier which informed him that the switch to SDV was coming on September 23rd. As predicted, the letter told him that he's pretty much out of luck being the CableCARD user that he is, and while TWC is supposedly working with TiVo on a tuning adapter, the best it could offer was a "hope" that it would be ready by "the end of the year." Gee, thanks. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family][Thanks, Shawn]

What's with the gloomy talk? Your colleague Ben Drawbaugh from Engadget HD reported on the tuning adapter from The Cable Show in New Orleans. CableLabs just certified the Cisco STA1520 & Motorola MTR700 switched digital video tuning adapters in late July. What's your reason for doubting that the TiVo solution isn't coming?

I got a letter about this in Kansas City over two month ago. The date specified has come and gone, but I'm still getting the channels they listed on my TiVo S3.
