I dont know Ikki. I guess if you are content with the quality/quantity from the CATV service, that's all that really matters. Since you will be subbing to the ISP service anyway, 17 bucks, 19 bucks, it's a wash for that difference, as long as you can get the programming you want at that tier level.
Lot's of IPTV springing up these days too, for those with a high speed service.
I cant get reasonably priced high speed where I am. I'm too far from the CO to get any DSL and Cable doesn't run in the country, so I'm stuck with the outrageously priced G3 based systems, or an equally overpriced sat downlink service. I cant justify the expenditure. I'm old, I dont really need to go that fast.......lol
I wasn't trying to be a wise a$$ either. I am sincerely sad that you didn't have the same positive 4DTV experience as (AFAIK) everyone else I've read about has had. I'm inclined to think you got a lemon 922 or you have issues with your display setup/wireing. Since you seem to be an avid FTA operator, I suspect if you had system issues that would be apparent in some of your other viewing habits.
The problem with the request for side by side pics/clips is that nothing can do it justice without the actual visual experience. After all, all digital media is compressed in one way or another and posting a HQ images/clips would still have another iteration (or more) of compression not present in the in person experience. In the most literal terms, you do have to see it to believe it.
akoutso, glad to here you've got your authorization back. Maybe the folks at the ACC felt sorry for anyone that got left high and dry. I hope you get all you paid for before they cut you off for good.
Sorry for the hijack, but if you've been here long you're likely aware it's a pretty common occurrence, and I am frequently on the 1st page of the list of perpetrators.....
