em, not 100% true
Some of the most expensive TV's now come equipped to either with a "slot" that the cable-co provides you with a decoding card, or can be programed via the cable (by the cable-co) to decode encrypted channels
Agreed, but still needed at every TV. But how does that help the RV. park owner. His choices are hand out the boxes and if someone drives off with one without a deposit Charter charges him $100 per box. Two, have the cable company put in a head end system that converts his digital cable to analog for x amount and I am told 30 to 35 channels for the same or more than he paid for 70 plus digital channels. Or cut the cable company ties and put in a head end Sat system of x amount analog channels. Most parks could not afford a HD. digital head end unit. Very expensive.
