Sad, if they would have been adding channels instead of getting rid of them, HDTV on 4DTV could have gained steam.

I am tired of this s**t. When my Starz sub runs out in June, that'll be it for them. Their movies are old 1 and 2 star movies I already saw 15 years ago anyways.
They were the last to set us out with the evening trash though, but no option for hd sucks. It's not us, it's them. I say f..k em all and when they won't take my money I'll blind scan and watch their junk for free when possible and anything else fta.
These companies can't put out much good material anymore and I suspect most's days are numbered. I will not miss them and they can't die fast enough.
I am ready for FreeCanadaHD and freedbs. Screw Viacom, Comcast, Disney, and the alphabets.

The picture quality of the HD lite versions being offered of the big cable channels on pizza pale in comparison to what the HDD-200 or a DVB HD master can provide. Last I heard Charlie is down to 4 to 4.5 meg per channel for his HD lite fare, and the bitstarving shows. Eventually all the cheating and screwing of us by these big companies will come back and bite them.

I'll be honest I don't see what the big deal is for HD, I have an HD TV, and a blue ray player, Dolby HD Digital rocks, but the picture is not what I thought it would be.
I will also be surprized if there are any movie channels left in 5 years, Netflix and Red Box have got to be hurting them big time, I can't imagine paying what they want for the privlidge of watching the same movie 50 times, when I can go to Red Box, pay $1.00 and get a relativly new release, and never watch the same movie more then once...unless it is a good one!!
NetFlix, and Amazon.com both have a set up so that you can download right to your TV, if I knew how to do that
I wouldn't blame it on the 4Dtv, I think these companies are feeling the pain and cutting where they can.
