[opendtv] Re: Digital Better Than Analog?

This isn't anything new. We've had fiber in our cable system on campus for years, and there are no MPEG encoders in the system. Wideband FM from analog coax cable modulates a laser, and is demodulated at the other end. The only advantage is that the fiber doesn't require a line amp every 1500 feet.

The FiOS TV service seems to be analog in the same way that laser disc was.

I've seen digital artifacts (macroblocking) on more than one  channel on
analog Cox Cable San Diego.  I suspect that analog is extracted from
digital.
