Re:Digital TV (Score 1)

It is being shoved down our collective throats! I have nothing against technology but there is something definitely amiss with this issue. HDTV and Digital Radio is not worth the price that we will have to pay and I am not just talking about money. Why is this such a priority for the FCC? There has to be money involved.... lots of money and we are the pawns. KEEP IN MIND... that this will edge out low-cost independent broadcasting because of the way the FCC has chosen to implement it. I am as tech hungry as the anyone but a B&W, 5" screen, analog TV for much of my watching needs is just fine. When HDTV if fully implemented I will no longer be able to use it. Digital broadcasting hands over control to the handful of huge media companies. They can control copying (recording), etc..... We have been sucked into DVD's. Which are nice but it controls copying of the media. We were sold on the digital picture and sound but in reality it has giving the media companies control over copying and now it is happening to broadcasting. Something is wrong here folks. We should all step back and look very carefully at what we are giving up for a pretty picture. Is it worth it?
