Just like the way of the American muscle car from the 60's, so goes 4DTV.
Without expansion, the human mind would rot.
I can see the word "Motorola" could send this topic into a very heated discussion but I'm sure it's business as usual with them. I can only imagine the mass havoc they (Motorola) could have done if they had wanted to. I remember 10 years ago reading about the eventual demise of the big dish & even though the market kept shrinking, 4DTV receivers were still being made. You say "They want to sell all the left over stock boards with UID's in them that they will accept." From what I gather here is that they will sell all the left over stock boards with UID's in them, but what they could do is donate them to some science channel for testing, to test their integrity against several sticks of dynamite, intense laser beams & how many they can smash at one time with a super tank.
And btw, I subscribe only to H2H, supporting just H2H and not the little dish.
