When or if DirecTV launches their 100 available cable network HD service, I'd call THAT being a leader. If Comcast gets their HD service up to 100+, I'd call them a leader.. but right now, it's just a race with someone pulling ahead. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-reitchous and lazy ... those who also never take the time to point out a good fortune when the opportunity presents itself.

Comcast says they'll have capacity for 120. Right now they claim 18 in the city system. Out here they've got exactly three...all of them OTA pass-through.
Yep, they're right there leading the market. Leading in mediocrity. LMAO! -- Toolmaster of La Grange. | |

So.. you're saying that YOUR system has 3 HD's and they are all "pass through" from OTA?
And doc, seriously.. you're looking for EVERY reason to flame. Where did I defend "leaders"...? My point currently is that there are no "leaders"... who exactly is trying to lead anything? Comcast with about 15 channels average? DirecTV who beams a few and then mixes in OTA HD through a hybrid box? Or DISH who does the same as direct and pipes out 15+ channels of crap in HD? I call it a statistical dead heat tie.
DISH, if anyone, COULD lead by working with Rainbow to pull that CRAP they call programming, get them to do something similar as USSB did with Direct and carry the networks that people REALLY want.
If you want a "leader".. They could work in moving towards this model and pounce on DirecTV and start taking customers left and right. THAT, doc, is a leader.
But.. talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.. you think you know it all, but really know nothing. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-reitchous and lazy ... those who also never take the time to point out a good fortune when the opportunity presents itself.

Usually in a race, the person who is ahead, regardless of how much, even an inch, is the leader. That's why they call it a "lead". I will still keep my DirecTV though  | |

DTV would be better off using additional capacity to give its subs TRUE HD, not this downrezzed crap they call "HD"! -- You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much Bandwidth | |

I think it's time to start weeding out the arm chair experts from those with actual knowledge in what they talk about. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-reitchous and lazy ... those who also never take the time to point out a good fortune when the opportunity presents itself.
