Auburnfan23: Please post a list of the subscription television providers that do not charge extra for extra boxes.
I guess that means that you weren't able to identify any. Don't worry, I couldn't either. That's why it makes sense that Comcast is doing what they're doing: All the competitors have done so, already, and some are using the additional capacity that they've gained in doing so as a bludgeon in their competition against Comcast. So Comcast had better start moving in that direction, switching away from analog service, and switching to "all-digital" service. Though I do understand that you personally don't care for that change.
