Here in the states practically all programing is offered in High Definition yet in the DR it's like the cable companies haven't even heard about it. Most technology finds it's way to the DR quite rapidly but this seems to be a real exception. Tube TV's sell like hotcakes and the average Dominican doesn't even know what high def is. It looks like it's still 10 years out. Anyone have any insights? Am I going to have to watch my beloved Packers in grainy low def for the forseeable future?
Additionaly, here in the states I can recieve high def programing with just a small dish and a HD decoder box. I've got two Dish Network HD boxes available to take to the DR but from what I've read here on DR1 I'd need a series of large dishes to capture a high def image and even then it's a crapshoot. Hardly worth the effort. The new high def projectors are cheap and portable and give fantastic high def images but apparently in the DR they're only good for DVDs. Say it ain't so.
