any idea who will offer ATI digital cable tuner?
I was just wondering if there has been any of the major manufacturers jump on board yet to offer the new ATI digital cable wonder with cablecard support?I had read that it was to begin shipping with "certified" PC's in january of 2007, but as of yet I have not seen anyone advertising it.my current HTPC is an old sempron 2400 and so is about to be retired and im in the market for a new one, however id like to wait until i can get something with a real digital cable tuner in it..im kind of Lost because my roomate bought a westinghouse 27" LCD TV and he can get all the digital and High def channels via unencrypted QAM.. (we dont subsribe to any premiums) yet with my fusion HDTV 5 gold board in my HTPC I get almost no digital channels whatsoever using that Fusion card...im assuming since my roomate gets all the digital channels on his LCD TV (NO cablecard in use) that they are unencrypted so I should be able to get them too with my HTPC.-Christopher .
DirecTV Dishes Out High-Def
DirecTV (NYSE: DTV) announced better-than-expected results for its most recent quarter, but what really interests me is the way the company is pushing into high-definition television. The satellite broadcaster is hitting HDTV with an aggressiveness that gives it a leg up over the increasing competition. Compared with the same quarter last year, revenue increased by 16%, profit doubled, subscriber churn fell to 1.57%, and average monthly revenue per subscriber rose to $80.70. In the earnings release, the company reiterated its dedication to HDTV. CEO Chase Carey confirmed "the launch of up to 100 national HD channels in the second half of this year," and he also stated that DirecTV expects to "offer significantly more HD channels than most of our competitors." This is a smart move, not to mention a key to survival in a cutthroat marketplace.
