Several days ago, I received a letter from my cable/ISP. Says they're going full digital in a couple of weeks and anyone who's got their cable
going from the wall outlet straight into the back of their TV will no longer receive a watchable signal. A digital box must be installed to continue
watching cable TV.
This is great for 1 or 2 reasons, and terrible for many more reasons.
They're supplying the box at no charge for the first 12 months - after that it's.. ? some extra charge per month.
I am getting excellent HD TV images.
I am no longer receiving one of my favorite channels - with the restructuring of tiers, it's been bumped from the "basic" level
to Tier 1 and now will cost an extra $12/mo.
I am receiving many more channels in my basic service now, but I have no interest in 98% of them. Moving up to Tier 1 to get my favorite channel
would add a slew more channels I have no interest in - for $12/mo extra.
I see some major cord cutting in my future via some yet to be determined streaming service, which can deliver a lot of what I want
to watch along with the favorite channel I no longer have for $30/mo. I can stream via my PC and Phone and use my TV to cast to from
my phone.
