We (The Netherlands, or Dutch ahum) just made the switch to digital TV a

bought a settop box....

When they ban on-the-air analog TV in the US, there will be riots in the
streets.

And I'll probably be one of the rioters. >:-[

Well, OK, but I have to inform you the [technical]quality went way up,

Yeah, but who wants to pay two month's rent or more just for a fucking
TeeVee? And twenty to fifty bucks a month for the signal?

Sorry, but Dutch TV is free via terrestial digital (3 stations + local stations).
It is not free via satellite (logic escapes me, you need a card in that case).


There are a lot of people in the US that can't afford that kind of outlay,
or commitment - denying them free TV is discriminatory and anti-American.

It did cost me about 30 Euro or so one time to buy the settop box.
Other payed more, I have more features for the buck:
