<off-topic> ... Pearl Harbor Allowing the leader of that brutal military regime on the sacred memorial site at Pearl Harbor is an absolute travesty...Japanese leaders have come back to this site with humility and sorrow...the Chinese government has come to manipulate...why is there no outrage? --- because once again, we are played as fools for their propaganda.... God bless our fallen men ... our ignorant political leaders cannot take away their legacy nor their dignity ... God have mercy on the people of China ...

Cox switches on... Cox Switches on Digital TV for Aliso Viejo Residents P.J. Huffstutter ÿ 10/30/97 Los Angeles Times Orange County Edition Page D-8 Copyright 1997 / The Times Mirror Company ÿ ALISO VIEJO -- Adding more than 140 video and audio channels to its basic cable offerings, Cox Communications Inc. launched its Digital TV service to residents here on Wednesday. Regular subscribers can add the digital service, which offers super-sharp television pictures, and includes an interactive program guide, 40 music channels and pay-per-view movies. The service uses a fiber-optic network and digital compression technology to convert analog television signals to digital. By using this technique, Cox can squeeze 12 digital channels in the space taken up by one of its regular, analog channels. Other firms have already jumped into the digital television market in this region. Comcast Cablevision Inc. started offering digital TV cable service in Buena Park a couple weeks ago. Pacific Bell also provides access to digital television in Orange County through its wireless cable service. Cox said it wants to offer the service to all of its customers in the county by the middle of next year. Cox's standard rate is $27.50 a month. Digital service costs an additional $5.95 or $10.95 a month, depending on which channel add-ons are chosen.
