[BC] Re: HD Receiver

You Rich and many of us are just wrong.  Kent has been thoroughly 
indoctrinated  and can not possibly be wrong. How can we know? He 
repeats what was told to him. How dare we contradict him! King Kent is 
the ultimate authority based on the one or two seminars he attended. 
Please do not introduce free thinking or any actual knowledge here. It 
is not allowed in Kent's world. Heil King Kent.
