In regard to "Light Reading's Digital Cable News" website of October 3, 2007 there are several details of the technical capacity / upgrade possibilities of the cable giant. (Sorry can't post the hyperlink URL webaddress as a newbie). w w w dot l i g h t r e a d i n g dot c o m The article doesn't specify the cost / benefit analysis. As a consumer I've been trying to assess the cable giant's response to D* HD triumph. The only thing I like about cable is the month to month financial arrangement vs. a two year contractual committment with DBS. However, I'm ready to bite on the D* bonanza of HD channels ! My perception is that the cable giant is blowing smoke about Switched Digital Video, etc. As a consumer, I don't think the cable giant has the desire, plan, funds, or technical ability to go toe-to-toe with D* on total number of HD channels. Would appreciate the perspective of industry professionals about the information contained in that article.
Now that I've overcome my reluctance to sign a contract with D*, the only other obstacle is whether the HD channels are HD-lite, stretch-o-vision or actually useful and as advertised. Please advise. Thank you for your time and consideration.
