Re: Say goodbye to ClearQAM My LFA is going to object to the change *if* Comcast thinks they're going to move forward with encyrpting "must carriy" stations.
I advise everyone who objects to this to contact not only their LFA, but also their Senators and Congresscritters.
Cable subscribers don't pay for the must carry stations in only a certain delivery format. That violates the spirit and intent of the must carry rule. |

Problem is the "LFA" in many areas are State run now, not really "local", and fewer and fewer channels are "must carry" including many national broadcast networks. -- If it's important, back it up... twice. Even 99.999% availability isn't enough sometimes. |
