AT&T: Upgrade to digital... Or else!

Shops, Products, Services

I totally agree with other reports concerning AT&T's "upgrade" program. More and more we are seeing the anouncement scrolling across the bottom of the screen, "On (such and such a date) this station will be moving to digital channed _x_.

Call today to schedule your digital upgrade!". AT&T recently raised their rates, and now they are whittling away at the standard analog broadcast stations, moving them to digital so that their bread and butter mainstream customers are now paying more money for less channels!

AND WHAT CONVENIENCE! I have my cable distributed to the basement, kitchen, and den. If I "upgrade" to digital, I will have to pay an additional amount each month for converter boxes in the additonal rooms.

THAT'S LIKE THE PHONE COMPANY CHARGING YOU FOR AN ADDITIONAL PHONE LINE BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN EXTENSION PHONE IN YOUR BEDROOM! And you WILL convert to digital, because eventually the only thing being broadcast on analog will be complete crap.

And what a song and dance do you get from the government. Local government has never even heard of cable tv, and the FCC has decided that since satellite is available, then we are in a 'competative' market.

Yeah, right! I'd have to point a dish at trees and hills to see the satellite. 10 degrees above the horizon... What's it parked over, Honolulu? Some competition.
