A traditional programmable tap would be a blunt instrument and require the cable company to coarsely partition the spectrum. But that's not to say the equivalent couldn't be developed for digital channels. It would just be more challenging and costly initially. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
