At present time all Satellite providers are still upgrading their HD Broadcast and charging a little too much for few HD channels.
FTA HD is also still an expensive option
Well I'm sure you pay for Internet and Phone Service At least I hope yo pay for internet (not sharing your next door neighbor free ) Add all yo pay and do a quick comparison.
Cable TV is a terrific option No one hates Cable customer service more than me But I must speak the truth

There is no 200 HD channels boss I'm talking about HD Broadcast Satellite VS cable
Satellites offer very little HD channels i/o Cable is different from regular cable Fiber optic true 1080i HD
i/o cable got the most HD channels than any satellite provider Biggest problem with satellite they carry too much locals HD jamming their down-link bandwidth
At present time i/o cable got the edge Down-link to fiber optic local cable broadcast.
Verizon got their own FIOS triple pack for $95 But no analog cable
If someone looking for the most HD Broadcast This is it guys.......i/o Cable It is growing in NYC like crazy This is big deal for HDTV viewers
- DN had finally launched their massive upgrade - They are moving very fast with a new strategy - Right now they are running a parallel frequency with exact same program. I was able to intercept both frequencies. and man oh man they are very good. - The primry service can be easly decyphered using spoof bin programs. But the parallel won't This can only mean one thing and one thing only.
I have been watching this activity for nearly 3 months and I did speak about it 3 weeks ago. In a thread called "Attention FTA users" What I see now is very fast development. THE END IS NEAR.
You guys know me I would never report false information. King would never post false claims. This is how you can check for yourself. At about 1000 kHz for every channel there is an identical channel with same exact EPG and subcode. If you do blind scan you'll get doubles of everything. One good channel other no audio or video or even signal. No new bin will solve it. This is different. TRUST ME
So the bottom line is how long until they turn off the light?. I say 2 weeks to 3 months as an educated guess depending on completing their unknown tests.
This report is for real. No joke no prank Exactly how long is anyone's guess and can not be avoided. At least you got my notice.
As of 3 days ago DTV finally made good on their promises A whole new HD lineup in MPEG-4 1080i (9/27/07) Some of their line up like:
On 103°W (New lineup in 1080i) 206 ESPN HD 209 ESPN 2 HD 212 NFL Network 220 Big Ten Network 245 TNT HD 247 TBS East 248 TBS East 265 A&E East 267 Smithsonian Channel 269 The History Channel 278 Discovery Channel USA 280 TLC 282 Animal Planet 284 The Science Channel 362 The Weather Channel US
PLUS MANY MORE LOCAL in HD
501 HBO East 509 HBO West 510 DirecTV HD Guide 518 Starz Kids & Family 519 Starz Comedy 520 Starz East 521 Starz West 522 Starz Edge East 537 Showtime East 538 Showtime Too 540 Showtime West 544 The Movie Channel 604 Versus 605 The Golf Channel US
On 110°W (Old lineup) 70 HBO HDTV 71 Showtime HD 72 ESPN HD 74 Universal HD 75 TNT HD 76 Discovery HD Theater 77 National Geographic Channel HD US 78 HDNet Movies 509 HBO HDTV East 537 Showtime East 543 Showtime East
I truly do not know if they are if 103°W HD is an 8PSK or not I would assume they are but their public record doesn't say.
So I ask if any one (non-noobie) who is got an 8PSK Module to point to 103°W and scan. Of course it will be encrypted and yo won't see or hear any broadcast BUT CAN YO GET A LINE UP?}
This can predict the future of my December 2006 prophecy. See yo in heaven
Cable and Verizon's FTTP will be best, pizza dish SD looks like crap there HD is washed out, I can't watch mini dish HD or SD on my 52" I only watch OTA and 4dtv SD and HD, there is a very big difference in image quality and sound quality, the distribution feeds are great, cable and Verizon rebroadcast these distribution feeds, I would guess Verizon justs simple encodes these feeds for rebroadcast, Cable depending on there bandwidth probably compress these feeds before rebroadcasting them but most cable co's will not over compress them like small dish providers do.
Yes DTV will be putting up more HD but if it looks as crappy as there current HD lite then they can keep it, Dish HD is ok well some channels, Bell is pretty crappy Star Choice has some pretty ok feeds.
I am happy with my big dish for now, I tried the others and was not happy, yes my HD is limited but it looks good, with my pci card I have seen some raw HD feeds that look better than blu ray discs, feed hunting is great, I will also wait to see if NPS is able to off c-band users the iptv service they have mentioned, this will be a good thing to look into as 4dtv slowly goes dark.
FTA sd receiver for most stuff. Old-style big honking roof antenna for all local network HD stations. And those are FREE. NO monthly cable crap bill. NO monthly satellite bill. It would be nice but do you really need everything you watch to be in HD. You get plenty of weekend sports in HD on the networks as well as all the regular nightly shows. If you live in a major city especially there is NO reason to pay for anything when it's FREE OTA!
Hey, King....Whats up? I had cable about five(5) years ago. The only good thing that I can say about cable is that, they got me interested in FTA Satellite TV.
Cable is great, but i dont think the cow in the back 40 can get it up to my house.....ya bad joke. some of us dont have the option of going cable. its "peasant vision" or Sat
Old analog cable sucks 110% Digital cable i/o (Interactive Optimum) Fiber optic as good as any satellite if not better i/o Family HD channels are free No contracts
Ferizon FIOS is great as well Yo need a $5 receiver for each room They offer free DVR now
Check this out guys HITS by Comcast HITS on Galaxy 16 at 99.0°W
They call it Digital Cable Mainly for Hotels or high rising apartments 1 Satellite to a distribution Amp Receiver to each apartment
What I see They use DigiCypher-2 Same as Star*Choice If yo know what I mean
Yes the HITS feeds are pretty cool, not as good as the main distribution feed but the quality is still a bit better than pizza crap, many people use a 90cm dish with a 4dtv DSR 905 sidecar to sub to these services, SRL has some great deals and they have some great ku-band only packages.
Keep in mind a setup like this you will not get a guide, and the 4dtv must have been authorized for digital and it would be good to load the latest maps off c-band before you get this system.
