Knox <br />Node + 4 <br />Underground <br />Note: With Time Warner rebuild using fiber optics; their deepest cascade in any <br />part of the system will be 6. This equates to a more reliable infrastructure <br />that creates small outage areas when problems occur. <br />Picture quality was observed using a test television set on every channel <br />at every location during the latter tests at locations 1 - 5. This is a <br />subjective test and not a specific franchise controlled measurement. <br />However, subjective quality is the only measure the subscriber uses in <br />determining how good his/her service is. Depending on circumstances, it is <br />possible for subjective quality to be unacceptable and to have performance <br />still meet all specific FCC requirements. It is also possible for subjective <br />quality to be excellent, yet miss one or more specific requirements. For <br />these reasons, a combination of objective and subjective analysis has been <br />used. Time Warner test channels are as follows: Channels 6, 18, 8, 12, 26, <br />32, 38, 48, 63, and 78 (ch.6 used for Hum measurement). <br />Overall, performance of the outside test points was very good. All levels <br />were within FCC required specifications and picture quality was good. <br />6.5 Emergency Alert System <br />Included in this year's testing, The City requested Time Warner cable to <br />perform an EAS audio and video test during the POP testing. Time <br />Warner complied by performing the test and was witnessed by the Mr. <br />Whitfield on July 26th at 3:00pm. The test ran smoothly with no problems. <br />I have included in the report a video clip of above testing in progress as <br />well as pictures of the EAS equipment located in the Headend facility. This <br />data will be sent electronically to the city via e-mail. <br />FCC Proof of Performance tests does not require verification of the <br />operation of Time Warner's Emergency Alert Override to the city. Time <br />Warner did however, satisfied the cities request, but technically is only <br />mandated to perform EAS testing and provide documentation. CSG <br />recommends that Time Warner provide the data for the EAS test at least <br />Communications Support Group, VP RPT2007.001 Page 9 <br />
