With Dish Network consistantly adding HD channels (local and national), competition will take hold and cable companies will either include the HD  or lose customers to Dish or DirectTV.  Let the market decide that one.  Cable companies can say no to HD, but then their customers will say no the them.  If they don't have the bandwidth, let them upgrade their network or switch to MPEG4.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 31st 2006 6:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NAB speaks out against downconverting]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/31/nab-speaks-out-against-downconverting/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/31/nab-speaks-out-against-downconverting/</guid><description><![CDATA[Something else to remember is that as a broadcaster I am only give 19.4Mbps to broadcast my digital signal.  If I add multiple streams to my signal, the bandwidth does not go up, I still have to fit it in the 19.4Mbps.  If the cable company is not doing anything but receiving and retransmitting my signal, it shouldn't matter if I have 5 multicast channels, it is still only 19.4Mbps.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Errett Porter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2006 8:03AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
