Bigtv soft launch in jaipur

"The name 'digital cable' is slightly misleading. Today's digital cable is actually an amalgam of analog and digital signals--the 70 to 80 analog channels (the same ones that every other subscriber gets by just plugging the co-ax cable into the back of their TV) take up 75 percent of cable bandwidth, while hundreds of extra digital channels as well as broadband Internet and digital phone service exist in the remaining 25 percent. In the near term, cable has to be all things to all people, so many providers are quietly evolving toward a complete "digital simulcast" wherein all of the video channels that are currently analog will also be sent as digital. As consumers adopt full digital packages, the cable providers can free up bandwidth for lots more HDTV and interactive services."
