Cable providers shun HDTV at 2007 Cable Show {Engadget HD}

May 17th 2007 1:46PM It has been said that it is better to be quiet and thought a fool, rather than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. It has also been said that there is nothing more terrible than ignorance in action. I would recommend heeding both of these pieces of advice. First of all HDNet is not exclusive with D*, it's on FiOS channel 833. Secondly, channel changing is faster with fios compared to cablevision. Also, FiOS doesn't stream 1 HDchannel one can watch a different HD program on each set top box and record 2 shows at once on their DVR. As for bandwidth, i think 20Mb/5Mb unshared is better than 250-500 people sharing 15Mb/2Mb. in addition as far as bandwidth goes cable companies are using up tv channel space in order to do internet and voice. i guess they just figure if they compress everything a little more no one will mind... i do!
