Re: Cable doing an end run around the cable protection act.

said by Mr Matt:

Check out this link and look at section 17 of the Act.

»en.wikisource.org/wiki/Cable_Tel···_of_1992

The Cable industry are going back to the days when customers were required to rent descrambling converters for each television in order to watch extended basic and above tiers of service. Our regulatory corporate sock puppets are unlikely to protect their constituents. All companies offering Television entertainment including DBS service companies should be required to deliver their services in a manor compliant with the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.
With cable TV that's certainly possible.

But Satellite TV? Not possible. Satellite receivers are different from cable tuners. There were one or two sets with built in DirecTV tuners but those weren't all that popular. You'll still need equipment from the satellite company to view satellite TV for a long time to come.

but they can make so any sat box will work with your smart card.

But thing is rent or mirroring is the same $5/m on direct tv for any box. box 1 free.

unlike comcrap cable $8-$10/m per hd box + $15-$20+/m per hd dvr.

cable cards with outlet + cable card rent + cable card HD fee (some systems) per card.

Why are you forced to rent the $50-$100 card and or full SD box?

I like the candida system rent / rent to own / easy pay or buy your choice.
