They are using the whole digital media thing to screw you every inch of the way. Boxes from the cable co. , verizon , etc is just another way for them to pinch you for a few more bucks. I can't even get the TV guide channel anymore. When I called to find out why they said it was moved to a channel that required I get the box. I bought a DVD recorder figuring it would be just like my VCR only have longer time to record on DVD's. Nope. The DVD Recorder has absolutely no input for coax so i need to go through a box first. they say its about Digital Rights management but if that's the case , how come I can do it if i get the box?

All the utilities have become avenues to rip off customers. They are independent companies when it comes to the screw you stuff but they are utilities when it comes to keeping out competition, use of roads and existing poles etc to string wires , the way their services are taxed , etc.

bend over!
