BTW, I think we need to go back to a C-Band type of way to receive channels. I remember when you could aim a dish at the sky and order only the channels you wanted to. We need to go back to something like this. Something needs to give on the way we receive TV nowadays.
""Cable companies pay the broadcasters money each month per subscriber""
I never understood why the provider has to pay for the channel. I've always thought that channel should be paying the providers to broadcast their channel, in order to get their channels out there to be seen. I always thought this was backwards.
OOPS! What I meant to say was that if the 100 HD channels actually showed HD content we wouldn't be watching anything in SD. And I wish E! and Comedy Central had HD channels.
Does it play regular audio and MP3 CD's? Their not listed. And for $1,200.00, it should play Super Audio and DVD Audio (whatever those 2 formats are called) discs too.
What should have happened 7 years ago when all of this must carry laws started is that the FCC should have required the 4 to 6 major networks and all of their local affiliates to put their signals up on one satellite that both D* and E* had access to (110 or 119) and both should have shared that satellite for local reception instead of having duplicate channels in the sky. All of the major networks could have shared the cost for this, instead of putting it all on the 2 satellite companies.
Of course, the same could be said for all of the channels that both satellite companies carry. :-)
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
