I HEAR THAT! =] Kill off my analog C-band for pizza dish channels stacked 20 to a transponder. Kill off my analog Motorola 550 flip phone [about 2 bath size soap bars] for gurgling under water conversations. Kill off my analog TVRO on the ic-7000 for what? Kill off my open reel tape for CD-audio [well, that didn't hurt quite as much] Oooh, 100% digital quality picture and sound! Yeah, compressed about a zillion times to cram as much junk into 1 "slot" as possible. =] Chris Kb0wlf
