Take the Digibox/Set top box ! Everyone will have to have one. Fine ! But what about non free to air channels ? Ah Sir you will have to buy a new Digibox ! The new one has a card slot in it ! Not only will it be three times the price, but you will have to buy a subscription to get an access card !! Not only that but if Sir doesn't cough up regularly, we will turn off your ability to watch TV at all.......... The next con is HDTV non of the existing boxes will receive it !! Hang on.. This new 42" HDTV ready set I just bought !! Will need a new set top box. I'm sure that you will see a pattern here. -- Best Regards: Derrick.
