Not as long as the cable company can nickel and dime you for every 
set-top box you need and every other box device you need. No profit for 
them if they only have say one box in your basement.

That and make you pay some crazy high fee if you actually want to buy 
the device.

That's one of the things I like about DirecTV, I actually own my 
equipment. DirecTV is nice that they allow rebates and trade-ins for any 
new equipment later on. For example, TiVo service is going away in 2007, 
now you can get a DirecTV DVR for free after rebate (1 year agreement 
required).
