I think this is really unfair for consumers. Cable is running around telling everyone they don't have to worry about the digital transition, when the truth is, they are trapping them by forcing them to either pay more in the near future for their devices and service or not get those rebates via the government to get the OTA broadcasts.
I know what is going on, but at this point, trying to explain all this nonsense to my mother is like trying to steal a baby blanket from the grips of a crying child, it just won't happen! If networks can work on a box solution similar to what Netflix is moving to with the Instant Queue, there is a lot of money there considering everyone can get a great picture with limited commercials and it will be supported by any upgradeable Blu-Ray player with a LAN connection.
