Funny you should ask. My cable company called about an hour ago trying to sell me a digital phone to go with my digital cable and HD package. Only another $39 a month.

I explained to the lady that the day after the NY Giants play in the Superbowl that the box, remote, and fist full of cables were coming back and no more digital cable for me. I told her all of the problems I was having with the signal and that there was so little in HD it was not worth it. The cable company wanted to send a service tech to see if an adjustment was needed, I told them not to bother and I thought the problems extended back to the source. My wife would not let them in the house after the last pair of apes they sent. As far as I'm concerned, HDTV is a rip-off and I don't see any future for this type of service if things don't change quickly. I predict HDTV will go the way of quadrophonic and 8 tracks.
