Abstract :
Analog CATV Converters are becoming obsolete in the United States due to the initiation of digital cable and television. This paper presents an end-of-life information exchange structure for the analysis of these cable boxes. The results from this paper show an economic model and simulation. A case study is presented showing the validity of end-of life processing for an analog CATV converter.
