Re: only one apparently said by delusion ftl :
I guess I'm the only one apparently that doesn't see a bright future for wireless cable tv providers...oops i mean satellite providers.
Short term 3, maybe 5 years, they may do ok. Long term 5+ years they'll get squeezed.
I have to disagree with this one.
DirecTV has always been ahead of the curve with digital TV. I don't see them going away any time soon. Their picture quality is the best out there (I have not seen FiOS or U-Verse yet) but they have built a very strong customer base.
I am very pleased and wouldn't consider switching to anyone else. |

1 edit | SD is pretty bad - I have to say I saw European providers 480 stuff that was amazing compared to DTV. Problem is cable does the same overcompression most of the time when they start going digital 
EDIT - and one other thing, to refute the customer base thing: Sat will ALWAYS get the rual customers. Cable isn't everywhere. TelcoTV is even more limited. |
