Comporium Does DTAs

CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Evolution Digital, LLC, a leading supplier of digitalsolutions for bandwidth reclamation and next generation advanced set-top boxes, has beenselected to provide Comporium, a cable TV operator based in Rock Hill, S.C., with digital toanalog (DTA) converters. The converters allow Comporium’s customers who have analog TVs tocontinue to view its Basic Plus tier of channels that have been converted to digital transmission.

While Comporium provides its Basic Plus customers with one legacy full-featured digital set-topbox at no additional charge, customers must pay a monthly fee for each additional converter. TheEvolution DTA not only provides digital quality audio and video performance capabilities, it alsoallows Comporium to provide a more affordable option to its customers.

“Because of the increasing popularity of high-definition (HD) TV programming and growth of HDTV sales, we have a lot of demand for more HD channels,” said Comporium Executive VicePresident of Cable TV Operations Bill Beaty.“Evolution Digital’s DTA solution was the answer to our desire to reclaim analog bandwidth thatallows us to quickly expand our HD and digital offerings,” said Beaty. “The additional benefit isthat we can provide the DTA for $3.45 per month less than our legacy full featured converter toour customers who will need converters for their additional TV sets.”
