Thanks for clearing that up. \8)
Point being unless the service provider implements the new devices into the
coax infra, essentially the node cannot support data. Some people were asking
why even though they had sky/destiny/home cable TV service they weren't
eligible for data/internet transmission. To a layman it's illogical, but to
ones who know the technology, it's explainable.
We sort of cleared it up, ya?
