Re: No more shopping channels ?
said by hottboiinnc  :
If this does go thru you will be required to have some sort of set-top box so it will filter out your tv channels that you are not allowed to get.
Yep, analogue cant be filtered like digital, hence why A la carte cant be offered. If it was possible to filter the channels people dont want in analogue, I would be all for it. 
I know Cogeco plans on going all digital (cloning all the analogue over to digital) and leaving Analogue as it is now.
This way people too cheap/no need to go digital dont need too and Digital people could go a la carte. (of course all the analogue channels would get filtered out when they go a la carte, needing a digital receiver per television)
This way all people will be happy.(of course until analogue people realize that analogue channels are slowly getting removed from the line up to free up bandwidth.)

Cleveland, OH | Actually maybe analog cable can be filtered if they put in Analog set-top boxes. If the cable ops can find them.
Other wise look for having a digital box. |

I dont think such a device exists or will exist.. Companies like Motorola would tell a cable operator to go all digital if they want to filter out channels.

| True.
I actually think Mot still has the analog equipment still listed on their site.
i know SA doesnt. They've moved all digital.
I would like to pick my channels. I watch maybe a hole 20 channels out of 250 of them.
And i have digital already with 1 digital box though. But i'll end up having to get more if this goes thru. |
