I've previously been skeptical here that the cable companies would start
encrypting the network channels.  But I notice today I can no longer get
ABC and Fox in HD that way.  What I hadn't considered, and what they
did, is that they might keep the SD versions for limited basic customers
with cable ready TV's but encrypt the HD versions.

After moving I'm still on a 6 month teaser rate but after that I suppose
it's time to cancel my cable again.  The last couple times I managed a
year or two before I had to do that.  This time it's only been 2 months. :-(

I time shift everything on a computer and have only limited basic anyway
so I'm not interested in the more expensive deals, just broadband.  But
it is still a depressing development.
