The Cable Co better get a Statewide Frachise

Since many on the local Cable Co.s have local franchise agreements to keep analog channels for another 5 to 7 years (based on a 10 year agreement here in MA).

They are going to have to do something to keep those old (pun intended) non cable box users happy. How about give away one cable box to every subscriber for the ability to give up the analog signals.

Or

Why not set up some of the housing authorities with Digital to Analog whole system converters like a hotel room? I know there are other issues. No broadband to each unit etc... But I was just thinking...

i'm not looking forward to having a cable box. the delay is just changing channels is enough to drive me crazy. i will hold out as long as possible. if forced, i will buy a new tv and cable card it.

If you don't like the delay with a cable box wait until you see the delay a tv with a CableCard has.
