That is what most of the "media outlets" are pushing for. Just another way to lock consumers into one service. They know that once you have a "box" you will be much less likely to shop around. It's also a more effective way to control and track how and what you view, not to mention a little tougher to hack. DON"T BUY INTO ANY OF THESE SET-TOP BOX SERVICES. Connect your computer's s-video out to your TV. Web based video services are/will be much more competitive and far less restrictive. This “stand alone” set top box thing is so f-ed up.
