This week my cable company (Charter)converted to all digital and encrypted everything. My DVR is now a door stop and I am forced to rent a replacement as well as a second box to make the second TV functional. My bill has gone up 60% which I am sure is the intent of encryption.
Is anyone aware of a DVR that accepts the card that Charter provides to make their signal useable?
Also, I have been experimenting with using my laptop to stream shows to the TV. It is a little cumbersome. Are there any wireless boxes that would attach to the HDMI input of the TV and allow streaming over the Internet. I want one that allows anything and is not limited like the ones built in to the TV.
I think the cable TV industry is in big trouble. There will be a revolution in using the Internet to provide programming much like what happened when Apple invented iTunes. When that happens cable companies, which are the most despised companies in America, will become Internet providers only.
As you can tell, I am really annoyed at what Charter has done to me.
