The underlying issue stems from this portion of the article: So effectively, the objective of creating duopolies is to interfere with natural market forces that would result in shuttering of one of the (presumably relatively few) over-the-air broadcast stations serving a specific market, thereby...

Figure if OTA channels were all about the entertainment, then we'd be paying more for them. As it is, those severe weather warnings are really the only legitimate reason there is for allowing OTA channels to operate on the public airwaves. Who's word is going to carry more weight? The person...

Interesting. I would have thought that Dish Network and DirecTV would be motivated to set-up a direct feed. Perhaps that's in the works. It should be noted, though, that that would tend to disincentivize the broadcast to invest a lot in making their transmitter substantially more robust...

Really? Gosh this has been incredibly common for many years, and indeed it happened a lot more, in the past than it happens now. ABC does it quite a bit. Earlier this week, Dancing in the Stars on ABC ran 122 minutes, shrinking Castle to 58 minutes. Fox did it too, expanding Glee to 62...

The Moxi is $800. That is always the case. I think the key issue here is that if you want the "best" PVR, it is going to cost big bucks. Of course, the specifics will depend on what you mean by "best".

It really is between the DTVPal DVR ($250) and the TiVo HD (about $700 with lifetime service). Each is worth just about what they cost -- you get what you pay for. $700 is a lot of money. But you may not be happy with a device that is worth only a little more than a third.
