Opinion: Should providers not broadcast SD feeds to customers with HD boxes?

July 11, 2010 by  

Yes, it seems like an obvious question, but think about it: Many people, even with HD boxes and HDTV units, don’t know any better and the HD channels are always in 700′s-900′s and are hard to find. So the question came to us: should people with HD boxes only get HD signals, thereby eliminating this kind of visual waste, as we like to call it? It’s obvious to us, but what do you think?

Now that more providers are stepping up with greater quantities of HD channels (satellite and cable included), is it time to ‘cut the cord’ with more ignorant users so they are forced to get the most out of their setups? Educating people about the digital transition was hard enough, and now this.

Feel free to let us know in the comments area, we’re interested to know what your opinion are.
