That has been over ruled, by FCC

Glad to hear that the cable companies can still give me analog cable when the cable goes out.

but all cable tv subscribers have to ask your selves some questing & some investigation must be done,.
for instance,
1,Did the cable company themselves,push for these changes?
WHY/ (a) to justify buying newesr equipment in turn to raise their rates.
(b) To justify have customers HAVE TO "'RENT" or buy a converter to go onto the ""box"

and as mentioned,""Though the truth is no one needs a new digital TV ever. As long as you have a set-top box or a converter,?

but the bad thing is YOU NEVER OWN the equipment and yes I have tried cable tv, (right along side satellite tv,(2006)for a trial & after a week, called cable T.W. to come get their equipment.

Thanks for your concern for the cable people, but a lot of other people really don't care what the cable owners do. You keep posting you have a satellite dish, so you should not have to worry about the cable company either. The only worry you should have is when rain storms knock out your dish. It happens sometime. Other than that, dish is usually very good.

Hope you have a nice night jazzy.

Jazzy/Toby, you are wrong about owning the equipment.
The FCC has mandated that any 3rd party can developed and produce cable boxes/DVRs.
These devices will be able to be purchased at your local electronic store. And it will be yours to keep if you move into another system.
