Time Warner Cable has begun offering its New York City subscribers
HBO's HDTV service, which launched Saturday, March 6, with a 1080i
broadcast of U.S. Marshals.
Time Warner receives the signal via fiber optics at its headend from
HBO's transmission center in Hauppauge, N.Y. Time Warner spokesman Mike
Luftman says New York has one HDTV subscriber so far with a "couple" of
additional requests. The MSO plans to offer the HDTV service this year
to about 20 of its markets through AthenaTV digital satellite TV feed.
TWC is completing digital tests in its Austin, Texas, system and plans
to roll out its digital cable service in Columbus, Ohio, sometime this
summer. The MSO is working with Scientific-Atlanta on the development
of a set-top box that will allow subscribers to receive its digital
service. In the meantime, Luftman says any New York City subscriber
interested in receiving the service can call Time Warner to have a
cable run directly to the DTV set.
As part of its HDTV programming rollout, HBO-HD has begun using
* Faroudja's Digital Format Translator (DFT) at it transmission center.
* The Faroudja unit enables HBO to upconvert its analog video signal to
HDTV.
