[Electronics-talk] TV

[Louis R. Briones]

>From what I have been hearing as far back from 2007 that the cable companies 
are suppose to go completely digital transmission by the year 2012 and that 
the folks with their present cable boxes are suppose to surrender their old 
boxes.
I myself whent via antenna over the air with most of the local channels that 
I like having due to the outstanding sound quality, which is much better 
then receiving a quam signal, which most cable providers are delivering 
right now.Most of the stuff is all repeated material for the most part, and 
I can receive most of the same programing from my local channels of which I 
don't have to pay for saving me $59.95 per month. Then there is the fact 
with over the air reception, when in a good area the television signal 
originating from the local channels are more line of site, then  coming 
through a cable system with the quality being 95% quality.
