USDTV is done

Low-cost alternative to cable/satellite is done. USDTV today announced they’d be closing down operations. Ah well, I was kind of looking forward to getting it but they didn’t have any of the channels I wanted. I closed out my cable after it switched from Comcast to Time Warner, after my internet was down for a little over a week with just a busy signal for me to complain to. Dish wanted too much money for a HD DVR(at the time, they wanted $800) although I now understand they have an affordable one, I’m still not really interested. I hope TV over Broadband will come soon, and hopefully HD over IP will come soon after, but I won’t hold my breath.

Although my little Mac Mini is doing amazing things with it’s eyetv hybrid. Amazingly clear reception once I found a happy place for the antenna.

Don’t know about a low cost alternative alternative to cable/satellite, but how about the free alternative? Nothing can rival the quality of over the air broadcasts. It is free and the best.

HDTV over broadband will be available, but the problem is that video quality will be even worse than the cable tv.
