Buckeye Cable gearing up for HD VOD, Start Over-type service
Buckeye Cable, which serves upwards of 150,000 customers in the greater Toledo / Sandusky, Ohio area, is looking to make some pretty big changes. The carrier has just upgraded its SeaChange VOD infrastructure in order to "dramatically expand" its HD video-on-demand offerings, and on top of that, it's also hoping to launch a Start Over-type service to help those who notoriously show up late for their favorite show. Better still, the company is looking to expand its linear HD lineup by adding in 15 to 25 new ones over the next 9 to 12 months. Pretty big words for a "small" provider -- guess we'll have to wait and see if it delivers.

I'll believe it when I see it. The current HD freezes most Motorola boxes, and forget it when using DVR+HD.
However, it's nice to see that our local company is trying to move forward. Having the smaller footprint has its advantages sometimes.

I have Buckeye Cable and no HD freezes here or problems with my DVR. I would try swapping out your box for a PACE.
