Y'know, I have no actual complaints with the cable here -- except the price. Quality is excellent (considering), 80 or so channels, etc. The one problem I have with satellite is I'd need too many receivers I've got 5 sets, all hooked up to cable. I think some of the companies producing HDTV sets have the right idea -- also stick in a DSS receiver.

Which makes me think of something... PCs have expansion slots, why don't TVs? Form a standardized bus which one can add/remove/replace "decoder" cards... cable/antenna, satellite, HDTV, etc. New format comes along? Stick in a new card. :-)

Ah well, whistful thinking.
