they better not be trying to censor my cable tv more. I pay for cable, so i hope thats not the goal here. Free tv i can deal with them even though i don't think they should censor cable at all, with everyone going digital eventually the big 6 (abc, cbs, nbc, fox, cw, mytv(fox) ) will all go to cable and dish only. and cable has many parental permission mesures in place to help parents with their kids tv habbits.

As long as my tv isnt being screwed with im happy. By regulations if it just involves the fcc cracking down on cable and dish from over charging its customers im cool, but cencorship is just wrong.

Highly Ranked

That makes no sense. Have you ever heard about OTA Digital broadcast?

I would actually prefer if the FCC had more control on cable companies. Maybe then we could see the cable companies be required to play nice with 3rd party DVR's such as MythTV. Currently the FCC requires OTA broadcasts to be free of any copy protection it would be nice to have the same requirements on all cable channels via firewire ports.

My thoughts.
