Re: [CATV] Clear QAM channels slowly disappearing in Boston? Wow, I didn't know most non-broadcast channels required encryption...I apologize for the rant then, rcnman!
This just leads me to thinking we need a-la-carte channels even QUICKER! I know some people disagree, but I think most advertiser-supported channels would quickly reduce their carriage fees, once they felt the massive loss of customers (which is how cable companies determine ad revenue), not viewership.
I think it's pretty crazy that (in our current setup) we all have to pay for channels like USA network that air tons of ads AND edit every movie they show. To me, I'd drop just about every basic channel except the ESPNs (which, I know, is expensive) and simply buy premium channels!
...I know everyone is different, though. That's the whole point of a la carte! |
