They're not outdated concepts, but I'm sure you'll know that when you're working in a commercial environment with time constraints and the need to do things with as little cash as possible, it's not always possible to use the best for everything. It's about making every piece of equipment and every piece of cabling do the best it can do.
It's quite obviously highlighted with small things at the consumer end this this is going on within the CATV industry - especially after companies getting as close to folding as they dare - RF passthroughs, etc. Fair play, I now have an external one supplied, but Samsung obviously don't fit them as standard to nudge those costs just a little lower.
I'm not saying anyone should start truly fudging everything for all it's worth, but there has to be a degree of focus on the financial side of things. We'd all love a Orban Optimod, for example, to process all our audio, but it'd cost many times more than we have to spent. Gotta make the best out of what you've got.
(And there was no way I'm going to joke around and claim I know everything about NTL, or anyone else's, CATV system. I'd love to, but I don't.

I don't know who some guy called Stu is. He doesn't really know who I am. After all, we're dealing in facts not years in whatever industry, aren't we? It doesn't matter.
I have to say that your post wasn't the most valuable input I've ever seen into this forum. What do you do, anyway?
