I agree. I'm fortunate that we have all the networks locally so i can
record Satellite and networks at the same time.
Through an attack on my house, I was able to buy a 4DTV receiver. I agree
about the price, tho. For that, the VCII+ decoder should be included.
So far only a few movie channels are setup to subscribe to 4DTV. But most
of those are no-extra-charge.
And the satellite guide appears not to be set up yet.
It's all still new, anyway.
I figured Digital will be the future, so why not take advantage of a bad
situation to prepare.
on a side note, I suggest you don't subscripbe to TVN's adultvision. lame
adult programming.  :)
bought their $9.95 weekend...not really with the money.
