Whats the point of standards when noone conforms to them? Does anyone else feel cheated when you can get over 60 free channels over the air waves? First its All-Digital (BS analog), then HD (BS 480i expanded to 720 and 1080 ie Fox) I want to scream. I have given them my business for too much of my money and now im going to satellite.

Have to have basic cable + digital cable + HD + digital phone + Road Runner + Road Runner Turbo. They refuse to sell me the "new" fake HD channels unless I have all the above. That's the problem when there is zero competition. And yes they are around 540p "HD". Hell so not even 720p. Sad!!! Rip off and should be illegal!! Free my ass!!

We HAVE to subscribe to digital cable (channels over 100) in order to subscribe to HD, it's so stupid. Our bill ended up being like $130-$160 just to get HD channels, so I get them over the air with a $9 antenna, take that cable companies. How much extra do pay for your channels?

(http://www.knology.com/residential/cable/hdtv.cfm) I would kill for TBS HD, CNN HD, and some of the others listed.
