Switched Digital Video (SDV)

Time Warner Cable launched Switched Digital Video (SDV) in many neighborhoods around the country. Channels delivered using Switched Digital Video (SDV) are only sent to your television when you want to watch them. This frees up bandwidth and allows Time Warner Cable to offer you additional digital channels and HD digital channels. Some existing services may be delivered using SDV in order to make additional bandwidth available.

 

Once channels are delivered using SDV, they will no longer be available to CableCARD™ devices, like TiVo HD DVRs, unless you have a Tuning Adapter.

 

You will need a Tuning Adapter to view these new channels if you use a CableCARD with one of these devices:
