Your data interests me very much. What do you know about the two types of 
Scientific Atlanta boxes Cablevision uses? One for STD, the other is for HD 
TV. I believe both are Interactive.

<snip> the set-top-box ends up using my TV only as a computer monitor 
(through HDMI)
<snip> 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.
<snip> It monitors everything and creates some great database in the sky 
(cloud computing, I suppose) from which they sell statistics. I don't know 
about you, but I don't want a spy machine in my home --unless they pay me 
for my data.

Good Day!
