Frank,
Sorry. In all my reading, I don't recall coming across, "OVS." But it may be something I passed without reading in detail. As you probably know, if there is not a stock symbol involved, I tend to read too quickly.<VBG>

I did get a brochure from Road Runner recently, and not being a big fan of TV, I read it for investment purposes only. I was surprised at exactly how much added information can be sent down the HFC pipe when the signals are all digital. It was quite surprising. On top of substantially more TV channels, part of the deal was something like 50 or so CD quality music channels.

If I bought the entire package (including Road Runner cable modem service), it worked out to be only slightly more than what I pay today for GTE's Americast analog Cable TV service and GTE's Worldwind Cable modem service.

So I plan on calling GTE and ordering their competing digital services package to do a real world test. But as usual, I'll probably be the guinea pig for them. And they will send out 10 trucks to get it working. I'll let you know how it turns out.
