Kon -
I smoke Viceroy's, which used to be advertised in all the magazines for
some reason as "the thinking man's cigarette'. I smoke them because I
got used to them back when I was a kid and regularly stole them from my
dad. Happily, since I'm probably the last person on earth still smoking
them, R.G. Reynolds declared them to be a discount brand maybe a decade
ago. You can get them at most drugstores along with your other
medication. ;)
But maybe I took your question too literally. Often that question is
really a statement of incredulity. If so, were you skeptical that I'd
be interested in receiving LPTV with a PCHD card, or skeptical that I
thought I'd be the only one. I actually thought it was a very
interesting idea, with visions of hordes of LPTV COFDM stations talking
to open source PCHD boxes in various interesting ways.
But I didn't claim to know anything about it.
