I think most of them are doing it - it is all about revenue enhancement!The
innovative public was coming up with too many ways to hold costs down like off
line DVRs such as silicon dust, etc.Their solution is to encrypt it all and
require boxes. Best alternative is a digital antenna so you can at least get
the local digital broadcast signals.There are some very cheap interior ones
~$10 that will pull in only strong signals.

The shop content for this is that I presently have TVs in my work space.
My cable provider has announced the move to "all digital" requiring one
of their boxes at each TV, regardless of the TV's digital cable
readiness. I have coax to multiple locations in my house and shop and
don't want to rent ANY boxes from them, let alone the seven I would need
for this, plus in at least one location with a 7" screen, a corner in
our kitchen, the box will be bigger than the digital TV. Are there any
alternatives? Is there a digital equivalent to the old analog block
converters? Or will my digital TVs actually still see the digital
signals, just not at the same place on the "dial."
