Re: Great Technology
Who is going to step up the plate and start suing the pants off of these cable companies. This has nothing to do with saving bandwidth, it has everything to do with forcing the consumer to use a set top box.
"Want ALL the digital cable channels? Have to use our box, no way around that! Oh that pesky FCC and their requirements for cable card, who cares if you dropped the extra cash so you didn't have to deal with a box! We are so big now no one can touch us! Thanks for letting use merge away FCC! |

| Well you could always switch to satellite, eh wait... then you would be forced to use their set top box. Hmm... How about Verizon Fios? Oh yeah for more than 20 some channels you'll need a box also. Its the way things are going. You will have to wait until Cable Card 2.0 is finalized and TV Sets come out supporting the new standard. I pay a lot of money for cable tv, of course I want every channel imaginable. I feel it provides more value, maybe there's something out there to watch when I have time to watch it. |
