Air Versus Cable Part 1
I want to take a few minutes to talk about invisible signals in the air, and in part 2, what QAM looks like. It’s impossible to “see” RF signals with the naked eye, so we rely on test equipment to show us what is going on in the high speed RF spectrum. You may know [...]

cLeaR QaM on TimE-WarNer
For a complete list of clear QAM channels on Time-Warner in our area visit the list maintained by Erik Garci at http://home.roadrunner.com/~res18h39/channels.htm

Not everyone believes in Santa, [...]
