Re: [CATV] Digital Box Required?

Grrr. Sounds like cable box extortion. I would switch to OTA if I could get any channels. Used to get plenty before the Feds decided to "improve" things.

Thanks for the info.

If there was no encryption then one could receive more than was being paid for. If you went to the telcos or dish, you would need a box for all tvs.
