Re: The problem is said by BF69:A) A lot of TV don't even have cablecard slots Mostly the larger, higher end HDTVs have them as well as the new Tivo Series 3.
said by BF69:B) Cable companies make ZERO effort to inform customers it's a choice. Why would they. They'd lose money on cable box rentals fees. No argument here. Comcast even tried to get out of deploying them.
said by BF69:C)With a card yes I can get digital cable but the program guide and PPV don't work. So how is that a benefit to me? I'd rather have the box at this point. Should be fixed with Cablecard 2.0 (crossing fingers) 
said by BF69:D)Someone has to comes out and isntall this card. Ok it's a fricken card, just slide it in. Who wants to pay the cable company $30 so some tech can slide a card in the back of your TV? Most people can't program their TVs properly so I can see the need for a tech but allow some of us to install it ourselves.
said by BF69:Once more TVs with cablecard slots are sold, consumers are made aware of this choice and the technology improves to where you can get PPV and program guide and "professional installation" is not required, then this will take off. Unless the cable companies fight even more. |
