HITS upgrading to dvb s2 technology
I've just read that Comcast hits will be upgrading to dvb s2 technology. They are starting it on the 2nd quarter of this year and will be replacing over 70% of their sd transponders. This is bad news for 4dtv users still subbing to srl. Thank goodness Glenn is building us that new subscription receiver,lol

That won't be nice! I got this H2H box about a year ago for my mom and her Picker shows on History. I don't think this receiver will do S2.

Goodbye C band Subs
Well, If they do, I hope they enable one to use the equipment of their choice. I.E. via a CAM card.
If the receiver is $900+**, sounds like they are going the ONE PROVIDER route, probably PowerView. At that price they won't see much, if any, demand at the consumer level.

This time C band is really gone for subscription. We all knew it was going to happen. Free to air is why i bought my stuff anyway.
