Re: What Ever Happen To Cable-Ready Television? Actually my cable fees have gone up considerably and the service has declined under the guise of an upgrade. We used to get maybe ~200 channels of analog TV across the raw feed without a cable box. So ever TV could receive a very rich channel lineup. RCN under “Analog Crush” has done away with analog altogether so this is no longer possible. If that’s not bad enough, we used to get about ~$140+ Clear QAM channels with a nice smattering of HD channels of which included “The National Geographic Channel HD” TBS-HD, TNT-HD, SNY-HD and more now we essentially only receive the local channels via Clear QAM but we also get about 30 or so “Digital Audio Services” of pure commercial free (DRM free) music.
All while they have doubled the basic rate.
I’m tempted to just drop them to tell you the truth. Since we get cable internet we could still receive Clear QAM at no charge but I don’t want to do that. I could also pay 1/3 of what I am paying now for one yr if I switch to another cable provider’s internet service. |
