You’re the one that cares. What we are engaged in now is what a friend of mine once called a “modeem” conversation. He called it that because there was a guy he knew at work who could go on at length about hyper dorky things including how modem should be pronounced “modeem” not “modehm” because it was short for modulator de-modulator. He thought people should be impressed by his hyper dorky knowledge, meanwhile he was just an annoying ass dominating conversation with stupid crap that nobody gave a damn about.

Congratulations, you’re the alpha geek, you have successful dominated a conversation with stupid crap about how digital TV shouldn’t be called digital TV, and I don’t give a damn.

No. He said “coax” which is what comes before the modem (and there isn’t any diversionary pronunciation problem there friend).

Additionally, your comment to which I replied was the first mention of ‘antenna’. The ‘stupid conversation’ part was your doing.

But you are correct about one thing - I don’t give a damn. I was just trying to impart some knowledge that all hype and advertising isn’t for your benefit. Take it or leave it.
