10 Reasons Why High Definition DVD Formats Have Already Failed

I had a prof talk about something like that once. It is a cube however, not a circular surface. And he said it was 'a fingernail in width'

channel quantity. Espn, discovery, premium movie channels, and whatever that channel is that broadcasts concerts in hd.
But sometimes through the cable box the hd channels won't even be braodcast in hd. They show up in letterbox 480p, then arbitrarily pop in and out of 1080i. Only does it on the channels that can be picked up on the antenna.

But it is the idea of FREE vs. $30-$60 more a month on top of the already expensive cable bill. I don't think watching Myth Busters or How it's Made in HD is really worth it, and are those shows even in HD. And the Premium Movie Channels are a joke. HBO has been playing 'You've got mail' for the last month and 'Fever Pitch' for the past 3 months. And I really couldn't give too shits about those films. Really if you think about it HDTV is pretty much a joke. Watched Leno in HD the other day and discovered that most stars are really ugly. Bummer....

it's called holostore. the first holostore recorder is out. Been out almost a year. I went to a demo months ago. The meda for broadcasters looks like an MO, but with yellow tinted media. I might be able to find the link of the gear in a bit for the doubters.

As the technology refines, the same media will be able to hold more without re-buying media.

the original article in popular science talked about a holostore cube for audio that was being worked on 10cm x 10cm at the time. The first recording media to branch away from Edison's first design. Finally, access at the speed of light. The consumer 'chip' was going to hold every instrument from an orchestra for a concert, or two-weeks worth of stereo recordings.

edited for link to holostore product.

That would be the shit if you could buy a media that had every instrument recorded individually and then have a pre-programed mix that mixed them back in real time on your system...

THat would sound AMAZING!

i can't find the article yet. it was only, at that time, a theory of potential for the chip.

'you can be your own conductor' was i think the quote.

try 10$ a month including dvr and showtime.

The movie channels are just another channel to watch that occasionally have a decent movie on.

Obviously it all depends on priority and to each their own.

And have none of the coolness of single-miked recordings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You must have an awesome cable company... You should come down here to Cincy. They would laugh at you if you only wanted to pay that much.

With a REALLY good stereo mic then you can get some really great recordings out of that. But, the thing I don't like about most recordings is how they are mixed. A media like that would give me the ability to mix my own records to my liking. A lot of mix engineers today are idiots and have no ears at all...

i believe its an introductory offer, but my local comcast people are pushovers. We've had the dish switchover price for the last 3 years.

my cable box did the samething until I turned it off and pushed 'MENU' on the remote, then set all of the HD channels up for 720P and the digital channels to 480P, also selected the output to widescreen.

Right on... Down here the TW people are total dicks, and if you were supposed to get the introductory offer they probably would charge you double, just because they wanted to...

yah i pay $9 a month extra for hd programing. it includes like 17 channels. but if i wanted a dvr box it would be $5 more.

for $9 i think its worth it sometimes hdmov has movies that neither blu ray or hd-dvd have yet.

then i also have netflix which is $27 a month lol
