Cable companies appear to employ a common tactic, when customers drop certain services, that they believe are key to them maintaining a certain profit level or keeping one of their devices in the home to, through various means, generate value or additional revenue to them.
Basically they will do what ever the can to keep their digital set top boxes in the home to sell pay-per-view, and premium services using the settop box.
I suspect they also think if customers are using their set top box, they will not buy a TIVO or Roku or others set top box.
The problem is, their tactics are infuriating!
