Entering the DVD void.

Published:

Updated:

I have no intention nor will I ever buy a blurray player or disks.

Looks like I'll be heading into the DVD void soon.

Well, goodbye holywood, it's been nice knowing ya.

I'm not going to repurchase all the videos I bought on DVD to replace VHS.

Because, this was your true reason for going to blurray.

Not because it had to do with disk capacity or the sorny name.

NO, it because you want to have happen with blurray that happened to DVD.

Everyone now has to go out and repruchase the exact same movie that works just fine as a DVD.

Glad thing I have a video HD up converter to play my DVD's at 1080i.

The quality is not quiet as good as HD-DVD, but that's ok.

Anything to help prevent you from making MegaUltraHyperProfit from the repurchasing.

Yeah, I saw you making that pitch like the little lemonade stand kid, "We're gonna make hundereds-of-billions-of-trillions-of-thousands-of-dollarseses."

Piss off.

I'm ahead of you on that one. I'll see your no Blue-Ray and raise you a "I'm going dark in 2009." I just looked a Michiguide.com the other night and noticed that all the digital transmitters around here are hundreds of feet lower an 10's of kilowatts of less power.

Right now I get CBS, NBC, PBS, and FOX over the air. After the conversion I will get the CW network and CBS...now how is that an improvement??? The Fox station does not have digital and will likely go dark...replaced by its sister station on the CW network. The NBC station
will no longer have a translator here and thus I wont get a signal. The PBS digital is lower with less power so I wont get that signal either...which is good considering it is the EBS station for this area. Yep all these channels that I wont be getting sure will have sharp pictures!

Can you say bungled FV{k3d up mess??

Think - all the stations have to receive their information through satellite, I was told when I interviewed at one of the small local stations last month and had a walk through of the transmitter room. It's the law. They all have to go digital. Now whether they bring their transmitters up to par is a different story. I guess it would be like cell phone towers.

Hey, I just bought my first DVD player last year! LOL   This isn't fair. Late in 2004 I bought an inexpensive 32" tube tv (a great set) and it's not widescreen so it's obsolete.   S-video (not component) and it's just fine. I guess my brain doesn't see in High Definition. :-)     Wherever I live I'll probably have cable or dish so I will be able to get the channels I watch according to what I've read.

BTW, my sister went on eBay and found some tapes for her Betamax.
