    RG6 coax cable copper core center?

    24 cents a foot? That is way too expensive. that would equate to $120 for 500 feet or $240 for a thousand foot roll. Me I would use Belden 7915A. It is the same as Belden 7916A but instead of being quad shielded it is tri shielded. In most cases quad shielding is overkill. They both are...

    D* Customer Disservice

    Those subdivisions (HOA's) can NOT stop anybody from erecting an antenna or a small Sat. dish on their exclusive property. If it was me I would put up an antenna anyway. If the HOA complained I would put it in the front yard just to piss them off. Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule Jerry

    2 questions about "Progressive" display.

    It doesn't matter if your DVD player is progessive or not... as long as your display device can deinterlace the 480i signal properly. In fact some people turn of progressive scan in their DVD player because their display device 'deinterlaces' better. Jerry

    HDMI connection

    That is where I bought my HDMI/DVI cable. Works great. The nice thing about digital is either it works or it doesn't. There is no in between. And when it works there is no difference in audio/video quality from a $20 cable to a $200 cable. So if a $20 cable works... why spend more? Jerry

    Is it worth getting D* now or should I wait?

    I would wait... Comcast's DVR's may have TIVO software by the end of the year. If that happens I will probably jump ship. TIVO CEO Interview Jerry

    D* uses every trick in the book...

    That is the wrong analogy... IMHO who is supposed to be taking the risk... the company or the customer? IMHO it is the company that should be taking all of the risk, not the customer. If they want to keep me then they have to offer a service that I want... not force me into a commitment...

    Who is supposed to be taking the risk, the business or the customer? 1 or 2 year commitments forces the customer to be taking the risks... backwards IMO. Jerry
