Next Level can make settops fast enough............................................ ijumpstart.com Digital Christmas: Adelphia Launch Counters DBS; NextLevel Slow on Delivery <Picture><Picture><Picture> Beating DBS during the holiday rush is the name of the game for Adelphia as it rolls out digital cable to 1.2mln customers by Nov. 15. The MSO said yesterday it introduced "Adelphia Digital Cable" last week to systems in Western New York; suburban Pittsburgh; suburban Philadelphia; Charlottesville, VA; Berkshire, MA; Cleveland; and Dover Township, NJ, where it faces competition from Bell Atlantic [BEL]. By Nov 15, the op expects to bring the service to 1.7mln HH passed in more than 25 systems in order to release the product "before the DSS holiday season," says Michael Rigas, Adelphia exec vp operations. Since the op only has 5K NextLevel [NLV] DCT-1000 boxes available, he expects to put customers on a waiting list. "But we'll have enough for people who might go to DSS," he adds quickly. Another 5K boxes should arrive by the end of the year. The package has up to 17 premium channels; 18 ppv channels from HITS; 40 channels of digital audio from Music Choice; and the Prevue program guide, for an additional $9.95 per month. Adelphia has made its systems digitally capable using many methods: the op has upgraded systems to 750 MHz; shuffled channels to create additional capacity; or installed new equalizers into amplifiers to gain an additional 36 MHz. The op expects to offer the service to nearly all of its 1.8mln customers by the end of '98.
