This is what i was expecting, i want the MSO to not only give dual feed but also signup with a second MSO and let people choose what they want, once they start doing this even a part of the DTH people might come back to the LCO owing to the channel count and low cost.
My LCO doesn't seem to have any plan of offering any additional channel, he might be happy to remove a few of them and say his copyrighted line "SCV removed channels and brought the quality down and he cant do nothing".
In my area people who first went to SCV DAS later returned their STB due to frequent disconnection and now they are slowly moving to (Airtel & Tata Sky) DTH and some are waiting for an approval from their land lord for placing a Dish for DTH. May be i would be the only person with the Local Cable when all have moved out to some DTH.
