Why is MID-HUDSON upgrading their system and requiring DTAs?

The cable industry as a whole is streamlining how cable service is delivered to customers. This equipment is keeping with industry standards to create a better user experience. MID-HUDSON has delayed this transition as long as possible, making it more cost effective and a simplified process. Reclaiming bandwidth from analog broadcast channels will improve internet bandwidth on MID-HUDSON networks and allow MID-HUDSON to offer more advanced streaming video products in the future.
