Cable companies have always done everything in their power to prevent individuals from using their own set-top boxes or TV set's tuning capability, no matter what Congress, the FCC, or anyone tries to do to force them. They have never been honest about stating that the only way they could finance the heavily debt-leveraged construction of systems was by continuing to get set top box rental fees. Of course, this puts them in the monopoly position of getting rental fees even if their only effect is to bloat profits on an already-constructed system.
