Re: CableVision offering free receivers?

so the second receiver supports HD ? or the existing one already supports it ? (am not a cablevision user)
and why only 5 HD channels  !!

we have 11 HD for OSN (movies, sports, fashion, food, style) , 2 HD for Al Jazeera Sports , 11 HD for Abou Dhabi (Movies, Series, Sports, Discovery) , and around 3 free HD channels among (NileSat + Arab Sat)

So from all these 27 High Definition channels we'll get only 5 !!

that if we exclude the tons of Sports + Movies HD channels from HotBird ( canal+ , nova , sky , Eurosport , ... )
Weird !

Actual resolution of DVB receivers in Beirut is 720x540, it's DVD resolution.
If you want HD picture 720p and more in Lebanon you should install a small dish with digital head and a digital receiver with HDMI(90$ for chinese)
