Not sure, a single controlled channel to control the masses is very useful.
Satellite can reach many homes, cable not everything.
for Germany ARD, ZDF etc
for the UK BBC(1-4).
Advertisers do big business here with free to air sat channels.
Germany: prosieben.de sat1.de vox.de, rtl.de rtl2.de (type in browser),
UK: C4, C5, ITV(1,2),
http://www.tvguide.co.uk/
So all that stuff is free, and always some movies somewhere,
I think ITV has a HD channel too.
I would not pay for movies, those are not that great.
What I found peculiar is that a few weeks back 'Avatar' was announced on one of these free channels.
Now 'Avatar' was a 3D production, but not a word about 3D.
They transmitted it in normal resolution, 2D.
Still watchable though.
Is 3D dead?
Yes I have very fast cable too, on a regular basis the speed is increased it seems.
downloading a Linux 4 GB DVD is very fast...
youtube is fast too...
But cable, as in TCP/IP, shares bandwidth with other users,
so the more start streaming movies the more the speed decreases IIRC.
They do have movie on demand too, never used it.
If a movie is really good I will hear about it and some day it will appear on one of those free to air sat channels.
There do not seem to be that many that are good, UK re-transmits the same ones over and over again.
think I have seen the same 'bond' movies in the program list for at least 10 times.
I mean how many times can you stand it...
you know, I typed
rm smoking_aces_german.ts terminator_3_rebellion_der_machinen_german.ts
yesterday, had it running overnight recording from sat, yes they change the sound channel to German.
sometimes the German sound is better than the original, they do not transmit the original sound.
Anyways, just deleted it without watching it.
Caesar:
"Give the people bread and games"
That is when he was making war and conquering country after country,
in the same way we bomb country after country and employ the fugitives as slaves here in low level jobs.
Nothing much changed, but ask yourself where is the Roman empire now?
The slaves had some uprising, Caesar was killed, that Cleopatra stuff, the Roman allies were treated like
dirt by the now slaves in power, and turned against it, then all by itself the Roman armies were nowhere,
it got overrun by 'barbarians' (talk about painting the enemies, these days we have Al Quada, well
for the US mostly the rest if the universe), history repeats itself.
As I stated I cannot say too much: prime directive: Do Not Interfere With Time line.
