I've had cable TV service for years and have no experiece at all with satellite systems. Our cable provider, Insight Communications, is switching to a digital system and in doing so it will require a tuner on each TV. No problem I thought. I already had 2 DVR units and they were going to give me 3 mini box tuners for 3 other TVs which left me with needing one more. However, all of my TVs are HD TVs and the mini box tuners do not support HD, only SD. So I called Insight today and was basically told that the only way I could get HD would be to have an HD DVR on each TV for an additional $15/month per TV. I really only need the basic 4 major networks on the 4 additional TVs and today I can get that off of the standard cable using the TV tuners. So, if I want to use my HD TVs to their potential it appears I may have to switch to Direct TV or Dish. To those of you with satellite experience, can you share the pros and cons of the two systems? It seems I'll still need a tuner for each TV but they are only $5/each per month. I would also have to switch my phone and internet to the local phone company. I find all of this really annoying.

For those that don't know about this Uncle Sam is offering up to 2 coupons per household worth $40.00 each for the purchase of Digital to Analog TV signal converters. If they do stop transmiting analog TV signals next year and you don't have digital TV's you will need these converter box's to watch over the air TV. Even if you have cable they will come in handy for your analog TV's unless your cable company is going to provide a converter box for all of your tv's FREE OF CHARGE and what do you think the chances of that happening is? https://www.dtv2009.gov/
