Any cable TV experts in the group?
I can't figure this whole racket out... I have a couple HD TVs with
built-in tuners... Insight wants $15 per month for their DVR which is
supposed to carry many more HD channels than if I plug the cable wire
directly into the HD TV. But this is a crude solution for many reasons
(one of which is that you can't sync the boxes) Plus I don't watch
that much TV, so $30 a month just for the box is crazy. I had heard
that some TVs can contain a cable decoder card that will allow the
signal from all of Insight's channels to come thru in HD. But now most
manufacturers have abandoned that strategy because all TVs have a
digital tuner built-in and if your cable company is outputting
unscrambled channels then you can tune all the stations through the TV
without a cable box or CableCard. Is the problem that Insight is
behind the national curve and still scrambling most of their stations?
Stop the madness! Would love to hear what others are doing about all
of this...
BTW, this is still a Mac topic because I have an AppleTV thrown into
the mix as well :-)
thanks
Andy
