First, if you won't mind leaving your Fantasy Land for a moment.do you
really believe the force-feeding of digital TV has anything to do with
enhancement of the television viewing experience? ! Good grief! You
obviously are not paying attention.



When we are all straightjacketed into digital TV the handcuffs will go on.
Suddenly you will discover you cannot record TV shows or certain games off
of broadcast TV because they've done the same thing to the video that they've
done to copy guard DVDs.



Then will come the encoding of certain games and programs. Only paying
subscribers will be able to see them after phoning in their credit card
number, thanks to the new digital TV system. Once done, a data burst will be
broadcast on one of the digital sub carrier channels that will "unlock" the
chip on a digital TV that is similar to the "IP" identifier on your computer
(if you're running anything newer than a Pentium 3 processor). If you haven't
paid up, your "IP" number will not appear in the string of others who have
and, VOILA.you're S.O.L.



Carry it one step further, sheeple.



Like so many things today that are only "illusionary tests." "We'll see if
this will fly before we try that."



If they can sell making us all run out and buy pricey new TVs and converter
boxes or subscribe to overpriced cable or satellite service (which will
serve a double purpose of adding to the huge database dossier on ever
citizen about television viewing habits and interests).ESPECIALLY IN THE
****TY ECONOMY THEY HAVE GIVEN US.

it will be like shooting fish in a barrel to force us into buying new
fuel-economy vehicles under threat of a tax on how fast your odometer
rotates.



So, yeah. Go ahead, embrace digital TV.



Too bad the "big picture" you see on your new HDTV big screen is the
furthest thing from the real "big picture" here.



Did you REALLY think this was all about enhancement of the viewing
experience?
