We've used Sytek, I'm not overly thrilled, but it seems to work
for small implementations.  University of Maryland had a more complex
system.  We don't do much direct Async on the Broadband, mostly Ethernet
bridging where we have used Applitek and Chipcom devices.  Unfortunately
all of my experience is for MIDSPLIT.  With a SUBSPLIT system your choices
are much more limitted.

You might point out to your campus that you don't need a converter for
MIDSPLIT systems.  Nearly every TV set made in recent history is "cable
ready" and has no problem recieving the other channels.  Of course going
out and replacing every amplifier on your system is going to be a bit
of expense.
