Sezmi's low cost cable / satellite premium TV alternative launches in L.A. {Engadget HD}
Nov 16th 2009 9:31PM I'm assuming these "more than 100 cable TV networks," delivered via antenna are going to be SD, right?
There isn't enough bandwidth between 2-54 along with the current locals for even 2 HD feeds on each frequency.
$5 is okay, but I'll still pass as long as Hulu is free. I think something similar was tried in the DFW area back in 2005/2006 and failed quickly.

Nov 15th 2009 12:12PM I smell a program in which the goverment gives out coupons for free computers with wireless cards.

Do I really want to see survivor in 3D? Or Drew Carey on the Price is Right.
