Digital cable around my area stinks and 1/2 the quality of DBS and 2x the price...

Fred- I couldn't tell if it was political fluff or not. You could be correct and posturing is all EchoStar is doing. My feeling is DBS two-way data has been proven to work, but it doesn't appear to scale. Hence it may not be a feasible consumer technology.

I am in the unusual position of having two digital cablecos in my area. I've tried them both, almost literally, side by side. I was quite surprised by this--They are remarkably different in quality. GTE Americast has very high quality TV, Time Warner Cable stinks. GTE Worldwind has terrible Internet service, Time Warner Roadrunner is much better.

Wonder what you ended up with? I ended up with Time Warner. Shows where my priorities are(data). -MikeM(From Florida)
