Hate to bust everyone's bubble but thats not going to happen. This is all about money people and the sub scrip base for 4D has dropped to a level where its not making money. Plus Comcast and Motorola do not want the hassle of consumer equipment and the hassle of dealing with general public for digicipher. This has been in the works for a long time, Comcast and Motorolla want the general public dealing with the pizza dish people or your local cable company. The other factor is Disney and the major content providers increasing/wanting more fee's for broadcasting their content. Most are demanding concessions "must carry"-(all of their channels) and they are winning these battles. Ive been in the Satellite business a long time and been through all the advancements, the worst thing that happened for consumers is when Comcast basically gained control. The FCC has turned into a bunch of wimps and is not looking out for the American people's intrests but looking out for big business profit.
