No, sir, I am
not "living in the past" as you put it. I have had a flat screen HDTV since late 2011 and just bought a Roku streaming video box (I am presently waiting for the latter to arrive here in the mail). I do not adjust to change easily, but eventually (sometimes years after the stuff comes on the market), I do get the new technology and use it. Would I have gotten a flat-panel TV and a Roku streaming video box if I were still living in the NTSC television era? I also have a computer, albeit a technologically old one (about late-'90s-early 21st century vintage) and a broadband Internet connection, with a 20-inch flat-panel monitor. If I were truly living in the past, I wouldn't be posting here on VK, among other things.
I don't like the idea that the cable company here (Time Warner) is going to be forcing everyone to use cable boxes very soon (like every other cable provider in this country), but I realize that is the way it is, and there is nothing I can do about it. That is why I bought the Roku streaming box--so that when it gets to the point where I am forced to use a cable box I can just ignore the cable from that point on.
I apologize for bringing up this very subject in another thread later on in this forum, but I must have forgotten about this one. If VK's moderators feel, as you seem to, that two threads on the same subject are not needed, they can delete the other thread at their discretion.
