damn, I was hoping you would give me some insight on this communication business you seem to know so much about....oh well nothing for free right....nature of the contract beast....yes cable is much more than glorified satellite, NOW.......I was referring to what you see on your TV, not everything else cable companies have to offer these days........oh by the way take that high pass filter off the back of your digital box and stop blocking that return path back to whoever your cable provider is so they can see what you have been ordering, and send you a nice fat bill........just messing with you man, don't take it personal........never said I knew it all, it's all about the paycheck and taking care of the family
