Why doesn't the FCC just expand the digital-analog converter boxs to cable companies?
This would allow Cable to be up to par with OTA only broadcasting digital?
What cable should do is eliminate higer "cable" channel that are analog and make them digital only and provide SD STB.
Why do STB need to support CABLECARD anyways? Doesn' that defy the point of it ? I though TVs have CABLECARD so you don't need a STB, but the trade off was you could only get select channels.
Casey, Unencrypted QAM defeats the point, That would just use a LOT more bandwidth.
