Marjorie Williams, Franchise Manager 1155 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Office of Cable and Communication Services Suite 1000 Montgomery County Washington, DC 20036-46320 100 Maryland Avenue, Room 250 (202) 785-0600 Rockville, MD 20850 July 13, 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Montgomery County, Maryland largely supports the Commission’s proposal to develop an “all video” or “AllVid” adapter as the successor technology to CableCARD, and we urge the Commission to bring immediate relief to consumers by adopting interim rules now to allow consumers to purchase their existing interactive set top box equipment. In 1996, Congress required the Commission to enact regulations to create a competitive market for navigation devices, i.e., to create technical standards permitting equipment manufacturers to produce generic devices that would (1) contain all the features of cable set top boxes, (2) connect with any cable operator's system, and (3) be available for retail purchase. Technical standards have been slow to evolve and a retail market centered on CableCARD technology has failed to develop for a number of reasons. There were technical challenges, most notably concerning the ability of equipment to interact with the cable operator's system to allow consumers to enjoy popular features such as programming guides.

  • Setting up Campus Cable
    Frequently Asked Questions /Troubleshooting UNCP Digital Cable Can both my roommate and I have our own televisions? Yes. Belk, Cypress, and North Halls, along with Village Apartments, have one cable outlet in each bedroom, so a cable splitter will need to be purchased for each resident to have their own television. Pine and Oak Halls have one cable outlet per bed, as does Courtyard apartments. Additional cable outlets are located in the living rooms of Cypress Hall, Village Apartments, and Courtyard Apartments as well as in the single suite living rooms of Pine and Oak Halls. How do I hook up my television to receive cable? You will need a coaxial cable to attach the cable jack on your wall to your digital cable ready TV. These cables can be purchased at many retail outlets in varying lengths. Please remember that an excessive length of cable can reduce signal quality, as can cheaper coax cable. Purchase accordingly. Do I need special equipment to view the cable channels? The cable television signal is always on, so you don’t need to call anyone to order service. The system has been designed to work with all “digital cable ready” (ClearQAM) TVs and converters. Most new TVs manufactured since 2010 are digital cable ready. However, if your TV is not digital cable ready or is an older analog model, you will need to purchase a cable converter box capable of receiving ClearQAM (digital cable) or a newer set. To verify that your TV is capable of receiving digital cable channels (QAM), you should search online by make/model for specific information related to what type of tuner is present in your TV.

  • Advanced Broadcast Media
    Introduction to Broadcast Media (Notes) Tutorial Cutting to the chase: Broadcast media is radio and television. Even amidst the pop culture dominance of the internet, broadcast media still commands the largest share of the advertising pie nationwide. Put the audio and visual media to work for you as your company earns larger market share, stronger branding, and increased sales. If you are looking for cost-efficient lead generation, you need to be looking at radio and television advertising. Not only are radio and television the main media for advertising today, they are continually developing new ways to reach their audience. The SyFy cable network launched a show (“Defiance”) that combines interactions on a video game with the plot of a series show. Radio stations are supplementing on-air campaigns with digital media to provide on-air and on-screen promotions to those who stream the station through their computer. Multiple studies have shown that combining radio and television can help advertisers reach audiences not achievable with only one medium or the other. Broadcast Media Broadcast television Cable television On-demand television TV/web integration Local, network, and national radio On-air endorsements Long-form programming Multi-language programming The Power of Radio Radio reaches more Americans than any other advertising media. As an example, let’s look at Los Angeles, CA. It is the #1 radio revenue market in the world and generates more than $1 billion dollars in sales each year. In that market alone, more than 9 million people listen to radio each week. People are loyal to radio and love listening to their favorite DJ or talk show host.
