Comcast $400 Million Chicago Upgrade > Cables boxes and such

said by tango65536:

I have a theory. One of the main reasons the cable companies are dropping analog service is to stop cable theft. You know, moving into a new apartment/house and plugging the cable line and having "free" service. Never paying a bill to the cable company.

When all the systems are digital only this will stop. Unless they find a way to hack a digital box.
