Because consumers, myself included, have TV's in every room that are already analogue cable ready... i.e. no box needed (and super speedy channel changing).

Add to this VCRs or DVR's that already record all 100+ analogue cable channels just fine. Force the move to digital and suddenly you render them all useless because they can't change the channel on the external box.

The TV stand that has the TV and the TiVo suddenly needs double the number pieces of electronic paraphernalia to do what it did just fine before.

Lastly, cable companies charge you for every box you have.
It's like a "Cable tax" on every device.
Many people refuse to pay this. ]]>Jan 21st 2009 11:46AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/21/rcns-analog-crush-nears-completion-100-hd-channels-coming-soon/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/21/rcns-analog-crush-nears-completion-100-hd-channels-coming-soon/Jan 21st 2009 10:05PM
