Hi Frank, the Marketecture slide doesn't clearly show the spectrum division--just the basic 50-750 MHz downstream cable plant range(but I guess you could infer this from the use of DAVIC 1.1 OOB and (in the EXTENDED model only, which is interesting) DOCSIS CM. They don't specifically show how digital video is handled, but it looks like DVB-C would be a good guess since all they did was slap together early-generation pieces and called it a system. I would suppose the OOB channel is just for system management data, but maybe they are using that for 2-way data in the base (non-DOCSIS) model, which is specified in DAVIC 1.1. I know I harp on this all the time, but note AGAIN the lack of a security specification. THESE MODELS WILL GO NOWHERE WITHOUT THAT! It's just a gimmicky toy without a well-thought-out security model and (in my opinion) any MSO would be crazy to invest millions to upgrade per this early generation model. It was interesting how that article mentioned "work from home" as available through the standard service tier. Maybe they got this slide from TCI :o). dh
