[Electronics-talk] audio described TV programming

This message is directed to Dewy
letting you know that I have been using C Band dish for mamy years and local 
Broadcast for manty years and knowing that SAP is pass through with such a 
system and also with many of the local channels such as CBS and the FOX 
Network. Cable television will always encounter such many problens, due to 
the way they deliver ther signal through a Quam system not having enough 
Bandwith to carry the SAP or excellent A/V signal I myself have never like 
the Cable industry, given the reason with them altering the local TV channel 
such as putting channel 40 on VHf channel 8 for example degrading the 
original proterties of the orginal of the local TV channel, to which some 
folks who are on this site just don't understand, of which I feel sorry for 
them.
