I saw that coming.......

With the demise of analog TV -

"Oh, you won't need a box! You're on cable!"

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight....

And can I interest you in this nice resort I have in southern Florida? 
How about a nice bridge? I have several...

Of course, the set-top-box ends up using my TV only as a computer monitor (through HDMI) so, if installed as they require, I will no longer be able to receive any off-air HDTV at the push of a button. Furthermore, they will remove the QAM channels as they now exist on the cable so that if I don’t install the box, I get no cable television at all.
