Re: Digital Transport Adapter Unboxing Photos said by cypherstream:Heck even cheapo FM modulators for MP3 players, Sat Radio and IPods send Stereo audio! If what you say is true, it's about time! But if you stop & think about it - so what? 
The majority of folks that are "A/V'philes" wouldn't even think about using an RF output on ANY type of set-top box in the first place - they ARE going to use some sort of baseband output (composite/S-video & L/R audio) to the display device. The other folks that do NOT have TV's w/A/V inputs, most likely not only do NOT have stereo TV's, but could care less if it WAS in stereo or not.
It would have made MUCH more sense, & would have been cheaper, to just have put 3 measly RCA outs on these boxes - EVERY one of the new OTA digital converters has them, & considering they cost LESS than these comparable cable units, it makes even LESS sense! (but I guess THAT'S why they ARE being used by cable systems...  ) |
