Digital Revolution

The Digital Revolution is here....

Its amazing how the marketing and advertising ppl can make this sound like the biggest thing since sliced bread. And for all those suckers that fall for it, wot would make u want to pay around 80 bucks a mth for a whole bunch of channels u probably wont get to watch anyway??

Well as of today, I am one of those suckers, and I think the above comments are totally irrelevant. Despite my initial skepticism, i am quite amazed at foxtel digital. The 1st thing u notice is the dramatic improvement in picture quality. No i'm serious, u can ACUTALLY see a difference. I guess the sound quality is better too, but to me, u crank up the volume and quality increases also.

The multitude of channels is a bonus too, for while i was not big on the existing channels i had b4, there are new ones that definitely take my interest, namely the travel doco and food channels. (Something of interest is always on)

So overall how wld i rate it? I think if u r stuck at home like i am, foxtel digital can easily relieve the stresses associated with being homebound. The set-top box is really sleek and cool looking, which is a plus :) Price-wise, i'm not too impressed with, but with the lack of competition in the market, what do u expect? VERDICT: if u can afford it, go for it, coz once its there, u will use it and say goodbye to commercial tv.......
