There may be a matter of folk getting the boxes, setting them up and etc....

I know in my area when comcast coverted thier boxes over earlier this year...the lines at the cable company were long and a lot of people had many boxes to swap out.

So part of this problem is not only may you have ot get a new TV but if you need a new cable box and your cable company doesn't offer an option to come to your home....what would a senior / disabled citizen have to do to get thier equipment upgraded?
