If TV Manufacturer's were smart, they would make the box sort of like a Cable Card -- where it is replaceable if something should go wrong with it. It would be pretty sad if after a year of using the TV the built-in cable box device died, and you had to buy another $2,000 TV.
Or pay 50 cents/month extra and just get a "real" cable box?
Over 50% of the fees on my account with Cox are for the rental of 2 boxes. I get just about every channel except Spanish channels and porn. It's ridiculous. "digital gateway" fee "DVR service" (what "service"?? I pay for the box, I pay for the content & the box has a CPU and hard drive!).
Of course Cox is going to find a way to screw over their customers when cable boxes are no longer needed....
Anyways in a few months I get to move into a house (from an apartment) in Comcast-land so either I will have Comcast cable or pirated dish tv. -- 09:F9:11:02:9D:74:E3:5B:D8:41:56:C5:63:56:88:C0
