Brighthouse Central Florida has a thread, thought it time to start a Tampa one!
So SDV is scheduled to arrive in the Tampa Bay Brighthouse market on 5/6/09. In early April, Brighthouse put an ad in the St. Pete Times: "Bright House Networks has launched a new digital video delivery technology known as Switched Digital Video (SDV). SDV is a robust bandwidth management system that makes it possible to offer more digital video programming services than before including new HD channels. To be able to offer more new video services, Bright House Netowkrs will be moving some existing programming services to the SDV system as well as adding new services on the SDV system."
The first round of SDV channels are scheduled for 5/6 with more coming on 5/27.
Given SDVs imminent arrival, I contacted BHN for information on a Tuning Adapter for TiVo. They say (e-mail support reps and phone reps) there is no estimate as to when the Tuning Adapters would be available, or even if they would be providing them.
Tampa support seems to be trailing significantly behind Central FL/ Orlando market support. I know support is thin for tuning adapters in general, but it seems that the Orlando BHN at least prepared for SDV and cableCARD device support and has been offering TAs since February. Also on a side note, it seems nearly impossible to acquire mCARDS in Tampa, at least I've had no luck with 3 service calls, and a bunch of calls/ chats and e-mails.
Any one know or have better luck finding out when/if Tuning adapters will be available in Tampa or SDV and Tivo support in general?
