Re: No more shopping channels ?
Actually you can filter it at the cable poll outside your home on their end like the use to do with analog premium like HBO and Showtime. |

| Yes but why do that when they can just control it with a box.
The box would be easier to use. and if areas still havent updated their systems to digital cable service its time for them to do it.
especially the little local companies that offer shitty service and sky high prices cause they're allowed to offer it at that price. especially if they're a mutal company like the one where my aunt and uncle like.
they get cable and it worse than watching tv on rabbit ears. |

The amount of signal traps you can put on for analog cable is somewhat limited. It just looks silly when you start putting a whole bunch of 6Mhz traps on a cable.

The only problem is every time you decided to change your service they'd have to come out and change a multitude of filters, and if a channel you wanted was in between a bunch you don't, there may be some overlap and that channel wouldn't come in so clear. I would imagine an analog filter bank for 200+ channels would be pretty big and full of easy to lose/remove little bits. |
