"On the same note, I just happened to read a little piece on direct broadcast satellite(DBS). In the article it said DBS is limited to tuning in only two channels per household. Do you know if this is accurate?" No, sorry, I'm not up to date on the actual number. I recall a time when it was quite expensive to get a second channel capability. But then again, that was a while ago. By the way, the headend equivalent term that you might be lloking for in CO terms is host digital terminal location, or HDT, to differentiate it from the field remote terminal, or RT. Although, I don't think that this is the only use for that term, nor do I see it catching on in places other than DSL diagrams and manuals.
