Re: WOW "Downconvert" is where hyou take a signal and induce bitloss intentionally either by resizing the frame or changing the compression to a higher level. What you're talking about is a straight DAC. Did cable companies find a way to not already pay local broadcasters to rebradcast their signal?
I can buy several licensed boxes for DirecTv straight from retailers. If I should break the box then I'm out of whatever I paid and don't have to pay a bill that I don't get to negotiate. Ownership trumps rental every time because of that.
I was a satellite adopter back when you had a huge dish and it was free for the wildfeeds. I was a DTV adopter when the euipment was 800$ with a self-install in a single location.
Nothing changes the fact that this move is not consumer friendly in that it forces a higher bill upon them forfeatures they don't want. |
