I pay just under $11 a month for the most basic cable - essentially the local broadcast channels and bit of flotsam. Once they start encrypting I will need a converter box at each TV which will double (or more) my costs.<br /><br />The other (real?) reason cable operators were so hot for this change is folks who have just internet service via a cable operator will no longer be able to 'steal' those broadcast basic channels by hooking the wire to a TV set.<br /><br />So another regulation that benefits consumers bites the dust. Must be another day in what FOX news would surely describe as our socialist nightmare what with Obama being the President.<br />ohiobikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526076301739376223noreply@blogger.com
