TWC now shipping tuning adapters in Rochester, NY -- do you have yours?

by Darren Murph posted Dec 18th 2008 at 10:11AM

The headline pretty much says it all, but if you really have to know the details, we've heard from two different Rochester-based tipsters that Time Warner Cable has informed them that their tuning adapter has shipped. This marks the second major market in the nation to receive these splendid boxes from the carrier, and it got us to wondering about everyone else. Has your local carrier come forward with tuning adapter availability? If not, what's the estimated wait time? [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]

BigBand Networks heads up first ever international SDV deployment

by Darren Murph posted Nov 27th 2008 at 8:52AM


BigBand Networks knows a thing or two about making the transition to switched digital video, and now it can say that it helped flipped the first ever SDV switch overseas. The company, in conjunction with interactive TV middleware provider Alticast, has "added functionality to its switched digital video solution in preparation for deployments by Korean cable operators." Obviously, the opportunities for SDV outside of North America is significant, with many markets gasping for bandwidth just to get a handful of high-def channels out to the people. Research firm In-Stat actually asserts that "Asian deployments of SDV will grow at an average rate of 85% for the next four years, reaching $212M by 2012," and we can only hope that this is one method for greatly boosting the amount of HD content available outside of the US.
