PsychoSy hits the mark again! Great observations PsychoSy.
Yep, it doesn't matter which party you are talking about, they are BOTH cut from the same criminal cloth.
Our Government is controlled by a collection of BIpartisan criminals who only care about their own self interests and NOTHING of the people they are SUPPOSED to be serving, "We The People". |

Re: Goodbye Clear Qam Channels - FCC ruling Will this actually be implemented? If so, why haven't I heard anything from Charter via snail mail or TV ad?
I have 2 CRT TVs (one HDTV w/HD box) that have expanded basic that are used everyday, but I will not pay Charter extra money for a box just to watch standard definition on a CRT. So is this actually going into effect in the next month or two? |

 Or
@charter.com | Depends where you live, a lot of areas that have apartment buildings are being done first and then individual homes after. You should get a letter at least 1 month ahead of time letting you know if the area you live in goes all digital and even then, those areas are getting free DCTs for a year on top of it. |

Yeah, this really stinks for a bedroom tv that you don't have room for a box... thanks Charter. |

Thanks for what? I haven't heard they are getting rid of clear QAM channels yet. |

Eau Claire, WI | They just told me that today... in a couple of months is what I was told.
As posted above, this may be market specific. The rep I spoke to was from WI, as I. |

What specifically did they say? I know in some areas they are all digital and they will everywhere eventually. But only those that were on analog expanded basic tier need a box and it's not even a regular box is a DTA Not much larger than a roku. |

Eau Claire, WI | It was just a brief part of a larger discussion about cancelling the TV portion of my service. I specifically mentioned the FCC ruling and asked if Charter plans to encrypt clear qam and the response was "yes, starting in about two months". I didn't press for details as, while it will affect my service after discontinuing [paying for] TV service, it does not affect the decision (that is strictly based on the cost going from 90 to 135). |
