[09:54] <fabbione> anybody alive?
[01:38] <Riddell> \sh: when are you going to canada?
[01:46] <\sh> Riddell: 29th
[01:49] <Riddell> 1 week to go then, groovy
[01:49] <Riddell> \sh: I hope you realise this isn't a holiday :)
[01:49] <\sh> well..the week until the 29th will be hard for me...
[01:49] <Riddell> 9:00 starts or you're kicked out
[01:50] <\sh> channel line up from 26th to 27th
[01:50] <\sh> oh no 25th to 26th
[01:50] <Riddell> line up?
[01:50] <\sh> Riddell: we removing and adding some digital tv services
[01:51] <\sh> and changing the position of some services in the transportstreams of our cable network
[01:51] <Riddell> sounds like a significant change, what brings that on?
[01:51] <\sh> and rolling out all our tv services from nrw to hessen 
[01:52] <\sh> Riddell: some new groovy tv channels for customers
[01:52] <Riddell> :)
[01:52] <\sh> but it will bring as well some problems...
[01:52] <Riddell> my flatmates got a cable line in the other day, I'm not interested in using it until they supply a DAB signal
[01:53] <\sh> all cable digital boxes have to be rescanned, cause we're changing the NIT and SDT and all customers in hessen will have much more fun, for them, we're changing some QUAM modulations from 64 to 256 
[01:54] <\sh> means if they have old cable lines...our technicians have to go to them and update their house cables :(
[01:55] <\sh> Riddell: means...when I'm coming to canada I'm up for work and fun ;)
[01:55] <Riddell> so why change those things if it's such a hassle?
[01:55] <\sh> Riddell: marketing wants it
[01:56] <\sh> Riddell: and our new big boss wants it as well
[01:56] <Riddell> marketing wants now NIT, SDT and QUAM?  I don't know what they mean but they don't sound like marketing things
[01:56] <\sh> Riddell: no marketing wants new tv services for the customers
[01:57] <\sh> Riddell: and new big boss wanted to connect hessen to our network in nrw
[01:57] <\sh> Riddell: in NRW we did those QUAM changes (it's a modulation to have more tv streams in one transportstream9
[01:57] <\sh> earlier this year
[01:57] <Riddell> ahh, more TV channels, marketing would like that
[01:58] <\sh> NIT and SDT (Network Information Table and Service Descriptor Table) have to be changed, when u add, remove, change tv services
[01:59] <\sh> but the QUAM changes are troubling us much more, because the customers in their flats and houses could have problems with the new better higher modulations, when they have old cables 
[02:00] <\sh> well...in nrw we fixed all this in 3 monts after the 1st of April...but now in hessen..well...lets see
[02:00] <\sh> months even
[02:02] <\sh> and I should climb out of the bed now..
[02:03] <\sh> bbl...have to do some real life work :( showering, shopping
[02:03] <\sh> bbl
[06:39] <cmvo> Riddell: Hi Jonathan!
