hi there, havn't been in for several days (wisdom tooth removed; maybe that will help with my analysis of actv). when i got in this am, i called tci in houston and spoke to a customer service person in the installations/upgrades area. She tells me that the digital tier has begun being rolled out to several areas and the next roll-out will be available on 4/7 (a rather important day, huh?). if there is anyone in the houston area call 713-645-2311 and get further information. i needed a houston phone # to get exact roll-out info. i.e. dates and content. anyone out there? please post any info to this board and the yahoo board. thanks, c,w,

Looks good from here, [ Business \| US Market \| Industry \| IPO \| S&P \| International \| PRNews \| BizWire \| Finance Home ] Tuesday March 24, 6:53 pm Eastern Time Tele-Communications accelerating digital DENVER, March 24 (Reuters) - Tele-Communications Inc [Nasdaq:LBTYA - news] expects to have between 800,000 and one million digital cable television customers by the end of this year, chief operating officer Marvin Jones said on Tuesday. ''We're rolling out digital as widely and quickly as possible,'' he told TCI's annual investors and lenders conference. Digital compression enables cable companies to offer more channels on other services on their systems. TCI President Leo Hindery said that 92 percent of the homes ''passed'' -- homes that TCI could serve -- could receive digital now, but the company is only marketing ''to 70 percent of those'' customers. He said TCI is focusing on employee training for the new product, because each market must have technicians trained in digital technology before digital TV can be marketed to potential customers in a given area. TCI currently has 150,000 digital customers. The company is installing at the rate of about 1,700 per day and expects that figure to rise to between 3,000 and 4,000 installations per day by the middle of next month, company executives said. TCI said at the end of the fourth quarter it had 14.4 mln basic cable customers.
