First of dickead, I happen to be a very very very old friend of the
mayor of this community, before him it was my uncle who ran this
town.
(my family is very political) Secondly the cable company has been
in
trouble with the mayors office because of this matter. Recently my
group filed a complaint on behave of a small church who didn't want
to
start trouble. The complaint was the church wanted to use the
public
access channel for their services but the cable comapny told them
they
were switching the public access channel over to Beta format. For
the
small church to now use the channel they would have to spend out
$14,000 on equipment, money they didn't have. So when I had a
meeting
with the mayor it came to our attention that not only where the
church's complaining but the schools were too. to make a long story
short the city told the cable comapny if they did switch to beta
that
the city would cancel their franchise agreement....so the cable
didn't
switch formats.


If you are going to make up a story, at least get the technology
straight.
Beta has been dead for a very long time (in technology terms). No
one would
be switching to Beta.

NOT true, a digital BETA is out there and is used by a few public
access as well as some commerial broadcasters. The cost of digital beta
equipment is $14,000 to $16,000
