Re: Addresses decency but price?

This address the obvious issue with decency for families who don't want channels with a good deal of violence and sex coming into their homes.
Ever heard of the V chip? unless your tv set is like 20 years old you have the means to block out objectionable content.

The problem with the V-Chip is that quite a few parents don't know how to use it properly and tweens will probably be smart enough to break through the password-protection, if parents even bother changing it. We have all this great protection technology but kids will either find a way around it or parents will just be completely confused by it.

The best way to keep it out is not to have it coming in the first place. Even with the internet, I've heard about people just pulling the plug out of their modems to keep their kids from going on past set hours because it's impossible to regulate something that is already coming into your house properly.

WTF.... Using a digital cable box it does not cost Comcast anything to block channels. All they have to do is reprogram the cable box, just that simple. The customers are demanding this so if you what to make money then you sell the products they want. If you piss off these family groups they will at some point cancel their service entirely.
