CableCARDs and HDTV
An anonymous reader writes: "HDTV is the next big thing. I attended the NAB conference in Las Vegas last week and everyone was pitching HDTV or asking about it. DesignTechnica has an interesting article on CableCARDS, which allows viewing HDTV through a CableCARD compatible HDTV set without needing a set top box. Cable companies are required to enable CableCARDs with card-compatible HDTVs by July 1, 2004. So here's some questions: Has anyone heard of CableCARD? Is anyone planning on buying a CableCARD compatible TV? How many people actually get HDTV in their area, and how many channels? HDTV is so hyped right now but seems that there is barely any deployment."
Personally, even if I had the approx. 3000 dollars for an HDTV and service, is it worth it to watch TV in high definition on about 6 channels. I find it wasteful that people would pay that exorbitant amount of money to see Janet Jackson flash her... (runs off to go get HDTV)
Well the reason why I cant post mirrors for every article is that sometimes their slashdotted by the time I get around to running wget -p :-)
That being said I use a template for my posts, but since you seem to really dislike "Hi their" I have gotten rid of that from the template
