In other words, to make some extra dough before the fourth quarter, and to help cover the costs of switching to SDV, TW wants owners to start paying for a STB.

Are they planning on giving the 1200 customers free set top boxes to replace their Tivos? After all, it's only 1200 customers, a 'small' number.
when will u people get it that cable companies do not make $ on set top box rentals. they make $ on the potential of services it can sell such as VOD. set top boxex cost between $75 for low end to $500 for top of line dvr. AND those rental fees are regulated by fcc
What's your point? Right now they have 1200 folks who aren't paying a rental fee - 1200 bucks who now have to pay a rental fee.

Whether it's profitable or not, TW already purchased the stb and have them sitting on the shelves collection dust.
