why not? they've been ripping us off for years.
How? Well, by:
1) charging us for channels we should be getting for free (networks)
2) by forcing us to watch commercials on channels we pay extra for
3) by charging us extra for HD channels which don't cost any extra to provide and some are free anyways
4) by forcing us to take channels we don't want in packages in order to get channels we DO want.
And finally: If they are dumb enough to send signals into my home, then why shouldn't I use equipment to capture it? if they don't want me using it, then don't provide it to me....IMO that's like putting a cardboard box in my living room full of hundred dollar bills and then saying: don't open it. ahem yeah OK right.....
