HDTV is not in its infancy. All local channels in central IL are sending HDTV signals, as well as HBO, Showtime, ESPN, etc. In fact all network channels must be HDTV compliant by 2005. I know to receive HDTV signals thru your cable provider requires a special HDTV box as well as your cable provider must be able to broadcast that signal to your box. That is why I ask how long until MediaCom gets to that point. I could buy a TV with a over the air tuner built-in and in central IL and I will be able to see ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS in HDTV. I was hoping that MediaCom would offer something soon, but if not, I will use a HDTV antennae and receive the signals over the air.
Thanks. |
