Basic HDTV Question?

Plato set the alarm for 5AM, shower , get a large coffee, gas up the car , bang on Comcast's Door, If they are closed, because its Saturday, bring a Baseball Bat, break the windows if you have to, get in their and grab a box !
Seriously, yes I have have it, HDTV for $5.00 a month is incredible, additionaly they offer fee Video on Demand, Free in the sense if you are for example, a Normal HBO subscriber, You can go to on Demand , pull up an HBO series, like the Soprano's, choose the episode, play it when you want, freeze it if the phone rings , basically play it all you want, or something else, a keen observer can find a titty or two, and enjoy some similar benefits of Tivo, still for the same $5.00 a month. Its HDTV, VOD and DD, thats not Double D breasts boys , thats of course Dolby Digial.
Its a Killer deal and one you would be a fool to be without.
Get the Box ! Enjoy !

Plato; swampwalker is correct when cox cable came out in our are some 20 years ago you would just rent there box and they would make there money on programing.Last year my buddy called cox and they wanted 500.00 plus installion,which I thought was insane,I ended up finding a hdtv receiver for 250.00 plus 150.00 for the dish which worked with direct tv. So for 5 dollars a month plus you pay programming is a great deal. good luck Douglas.

Depends on what your local cable company offers. Here in RI Cox offers ESPNHD, HBOHD, INHD1, INHD2, DiscoveryHD, ShowtimeHD, and just recently the local NBC (which is actually not broadcast on the free airwaves yet).

I still use my $300 Motorola HDT100 O-T-A receiver and $60 Radio Shack attic antenna to get the digital HD broadcasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, WB, UPN, and Fox from Boston. Most of the good stuff (Law and Order, Alias, NFL football, etc) is on the networks and Cox's NBCHD is still 4:3 instead of 16:9.

I live in a major metropolitan area where OTA (over the air) HDTV broadcasts have been available for some time. My projector had High Definition and I picked up an 'open box' tuner at Circuit City and a $35.00 HDTV antenna and I have been very much enjoying my High Definition.

I subscribe to Dishnet but I am still waiting for the 921 receiver so I can get HBO. I am a real believer in Satellite TV so I have no plans to go back to cable.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the input. It definitely seems like a win-win deal. I had to work today (Saturday) but they have a box reserved for me and I will definitely pick it up Monday morning and see what all the fuss is about. It sounds like my TV viewing pleasure is about to be cranked up a couple of notches.

Darrylhifi, thanks for the inspiration -- a titty or two in high-def sounds sweet. Hey, maybe I can get it close-captioned in braille too. :)
