Where's the incentive to upgrade if cable companies are wasting cash on crap like public access instead of more HD channels?
The cost of providing those public access channels is a lot less than most people think. The biggest cost of providing a channel, programming costs, are non-existent with public access channels.

And adding HD channels isn't just as simple as just wanting to add a new channel to the lineup. For example, the source has to broadcast in HD, hence the reason Sci-Fi took so long to be available in HD. If the channels aren't available in HD, no one is getting it.

Whoops, had to fix a typo...
