the hd channels being offered on time warner cable from albany area isnt actual highdef picture and sound to the home,its being downconverted and upconverted,therefor its anologue and digital conversion thats not real true digital highdef.we all know twc isnt digital and neither is there highdef channels they offer,because everything is delivered thru coaxial copper lines.,so copper doesnt deliver real true digital quality,its the same old crappy anologue.
This is the most absurd comment I have ever heard. You are saying copper does not carry digital data !!#^$%^!
I thought you were a legitimate complainer when you said that TWC downconverts and upconverts. There are some systems out there that precisely do that because of inadequate hardware and tranmission systems. However, to say that TWC downconverts and upconverts and also does A/D and D/A just because they use copper!!!! That is absurd. Everyone uses copper! Howelse do you carry. May be optical as in Fios, but it is still converted into copper at your home but it is still in digital format.
"because everything is delivered thru coaxial copper lines.,so copper doesnt deliver real true digital quality"
This is totally false. How do you think OTA digital TV is transmitted from your antenna to your TV? It is through a coax cable..the same kind that the cable, satellite, and telco guys use.
From the HD I get from TW, I really have no complaints. The picture quality is very good..granted, it really depends on the source. Some of the broadcasters do a very good job (CBS, DIscovery, History) others are marginal (local NBC station). I also would like to see USA and Sci-Fi in HD. Since I am in Texas, I probably will not have to wait too long as we seem to get the new HD channels soon after Albany.
