Mount Vernon, WA | Keep it up Yeah, this is all I need - to play cards on my TV - gimme a break. And with this new "feature", I'll be charged an extra $60 a year, right?
This is why I'm building my own PVR/HTPC - so I can do what I want with the signal I pay for instead of what Moneybags Inc. wants to force me to do. |

| My evolution will be to the local DSL provider; there's enough crap coming in and a lot of $$ going out as it is -- 'feature creep' won't hit this drop.

said by Taranis:Yeah, this is all I need - to play cards on my TV - gimme a break. I know, it's ridiculous. With the eventual move to all-digital service, it looks like it will be necessary to have a cable box on every TV set to get any service at all, and I hate the idea of that. If I wanted to put a box on every TV, I'd switch to DirecTV.

Duluth, GA | What the FCC or whomever did with analog cable boxes (making the cable co allow a customer to use their own,personal compatible box) needs to be done for digital cable boxes. But that will most likely never happen. That means there won't be anymore TVs like we know them. Soon we'll be buying monitors for our computer/tv/dvd/entertainment center with all these device connections once everything merges together (20-30yrs?). |
