Advantages And Disadvantages Of Digital Cable Ready Tv

If you go to an appliance store, you will see that all the television sets that they sell are  already Digital Cable Ready Tv.  People now opt for this kind of tv that’s why because it can receive all standard and high-definition digital cable signals without the need of a separate cable set-top box.  It can simplify setup and connections to other audio/video devices. And it can also simplify TV operation through one remote and consistent user-interface. However, there are also some disadvantages such as without the cable set-top box, you tend to close access to two-way services from your cable operator like video-on-demand, enhanced parental controls and, an interactive programming guide.  Plus the fact that you still have to lease the CableCARD from the cable operator for a nominal monthly fee.
