 TransmasterDon't Blame Me I Voted For Bill and Opus join:2001-06-20 Cheyenne, WY | what concerns me..... is at least in the satellite services an a la cart menu will stifle the development of new channels. The Best example of this is RFDTV ( »www.rfdtv.com/ ) I have watched this channel grow over the last few years because Dish Network was willing to give them a chance. This is a fantastic channel with very interesting programing. If Dish Network had not been able to bundle this start up with the rest of their offering I don't think it could have got off the ground. -- Low voltage Tech's are wimps, Real tech's use 45 pound filament transformers, plate voltages no less then 2400 volts with at least 10 amp's lighting 8877 triodes...BPL I'm coming to get you. |

This whole thing is cut from the same cloth as "naked" broadband though. Regulatory smoke and mirrors. The only way it works is to make cable programming entirely VoD and you pay per program watched. I don't think that's what the proponents are shooting for though. |

 | And, as far as new channels go, they could offer free trials of new channels for customers to let customers see if they like the station. Not sure if RFDTV is for you? Just sign up for the free trial period and after the first month decide whether to keep it or not. -- -Jason Levine My Gallery | Jason's Toolbox | PCQandA.com | URateit.com |
