Are You Being Cheated by Digital Cable?
Lauren Weinstein writes "Even though your cable company may claim that a channel is in a digital tier that you're paying for, they may be sending it to you in analog form, with associated negative effects. Surprise! Are You Being Cheated by Digital Cable? 'You're paying for digital, you should get digital. Outside of the lower video and audio quality that can be present on many analog feeds, third-party devices (like cableCARD TiVos) which could otherwise record a digital signal directly, will be forced to re-digitize an analog signal, with inevitable quality loss in the process. But how to know for sure if a channel is digital or analog as received?'"
This is the first comment. How is it redundant?
Um, mods on crack?
Be a little more creative when intentionally modding somebody down than mod them "Redundant." As a matter of fact, I don't see how my comment is Redundant at all. I was asking a question about the question's moderation, that nobody had asked before. That's not redundant. At the very least, mod it "-1, Offtopic" if you want to add a little more believability into your cover-your-ass defense. Would SOMEBODY please enlighten me to this strange modding policy?
My karma is going to die from this post, but I don't really care anymore.
That didn't actually mean to do it...
Doesn't Linux do that automatically?
Practice random senselessness and act kind of beautiful.
