VZ is trying to get digital to analog adapters made so that the digital channels will work on older tvs.
Comcast should take the same approach, either that or give free boxes to free up the spectrum.
I have a digital tuner in all my tvs , so I have no worries , but some folks just don't like to see that they rape us for cable boxes. And Verizon is not immune to that at this point. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
Digital/Analog converter? Comcast is already working on that.
The article below (found here on BBR) shows the RFP they've put out for a low-cost digital converter so they could go to a 100% digital plant without leaving out the millions of people still using their analog television tuners.
Over the next year or two the analog channels will get scaled back and things move to a digital format (unencrypted QAM).... that will ultimately save them the most bandwidth.
Must have missed that , bad geek I am I missed it.
These should be given out by comcast with a sub to basic cable. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
