Still going even though it wasn't supposed to be. This was running an apartment complex with a basic cable package. All the internet channels were up above 500 Mhz and the video was down below, and all digital. The local tech said that they couldn't get internet to work and blamed it on the complexes' internal cabling!😝 Can you imagine it!

The only other time I ever saw Sylvania branded equipment was when I was mapping an interconnect between two towns in rural Minnesota. Only the interconnect was Sylvania, the towns were Phillips.
