This one's just too hard to write up... so many interesting angles here. FCC says cable can protect everything but the locals. Which means you need something to authenticate. Enter a rented cable box or a CableCARD for use with TiVo, HDHomeRun Prime, or whatever other devices still exist. On the other hand, we know getting sufficient CableCARD support and accurate information out of cable providers has often been a challenge. Indeed, as a Cox customer, they could never figure out tuning issues in regards to my TiVo with their CableCARD and SDV tuning adapter. I was fortunate enough to have a choice and switched to Verizon. Not everyone is so lucky. But another argument in Cox's favor, watch HBO GO on Roku or similar?
Class action, legal firms make money, corporations lose money and the so called winners hardly see any money. I just wish these court clogging cases would be thrown out once and for all.

Wait doesn't every Cable system do this?
