Broadcast HD digital channels (Clear-QAM)
Found the following response to a question about channels and would like to ask a question related to it: "Cox does not provide a listing of the Clear QAM Digital channels. There are only a handful anyway and Cox is constantly changing the channel numbers. Without an HD STB or Retail CableCARD device all you get are the Local HD channels, available Analog, and a few Clear QAM Digital" OK, I would like to know why COX does not publish a list of channels that clearly states which ones require cable box or CableCard device and which ones don't? It is also interesting that to get most cable services requires some type of decryption device which usually have HDMI (or other non-coax) connection to display device (TV or monitor). So the TVs we buy have television tuning circuits that we don't use (if using the HDMI input). Comparable computer monitors could be used as display (HDMI-DVI converters are cheap) but on average cost more. What is wrong with this picture?18KViews0likes7Comments
