Kind of hard to wish them well, when the cable companies are stripping Vertical Interval data off the video signals leaving their boxes intentionally to prevent end users from using existing DVR's that people already own (and work fine) -- By disabling data from getting to the user's DVR's -- Cable Companies can then offer DVR's for rent that do work (Have not been disabled) that the Cable Companies support, and get a profit from!
Gemstar TV Guide is transmitted on line 15, and Comcast is stripping that, along with all other vertical interval signals (Except Closed Captioning) from the video outputs of their boxes. When I contacted a Comcast manager she said they knew they were doing it.... and illuded as to why......
Thanks!!!
