Why aren't all cable & satellite companies offering wireless DVRs?

Jed Porada: My 42" plasma widescreen HDTV weighs close to 80 pounds. I do not plan to move it anywhere. The 50" weighs more.1) Moving the TV outside or anywhere else is not a common as the advertiser would have you believe. I am not saying it does not happen, but do you *really* think a couple of 11 year old kids would be trusted to move a 40+ pound, $500+ HDTV into a closet or out to a garage?2) If you don't like the radio waves from cell phone antennas, what do you think is carrying the video and audio signals to the TV receiver that feeds the TV? If you are OK with radio waves, this point is moot.3) "All" what wiring? Today, a cable comes from the outside and connects to the cable box. The cable box connects to the TV with one cable and to the wall for power. Tomorrow, and on the commercials to which you refer, the cable box connects to the TV with one cable and to the wall for power. The only difference is the connection to the cable coming from the outside is missing! . If you are adding a DVD player, home theater audio, and other audio or video inputs for the TV, then you are not replicating what you saw on TV. And you are learning why other video carriers are not providing similar gear. AND, lots of people mount their TVs to a wall so there is no need for wireless in order to move the TV outside... Again, I am not saying some folks move their TVs all over the place, but small minority of people does this - infrequently and an even smaller group does this frequently. And even fewer still are children.4) If all this stuff is connected, MARK the connectors before disconnecting. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked on the TV and the various input devices. Disconnecting and reconnecting is not that big of a deal. And it was done once before - is that person available (for a fee)?...Show more
