    It is none other than money making scheme. I have purchased set top around 2 years back. Now it is not working and sent to cable operator. He has returned saying that not repairable and recommended for purchase of new set box. Is it the way of behaving?

    All future tvs must contain in built setup box. these cable operators having tie up with some china made STBs and making huge money local politicians are having percentage share out of it.
    a customer have to pay 1750 per box, cable operators will make tv signal into very low level so that customer will receive poor quality picture and automatically he switch over to setup box, this is the plan and city administration is acting like BLIND.

    we have installed STB. But clarity of picture... same as before. Then what is the reason to migrate to Set top Box. After paying an hefty amount, if we do not get CRYSTAL CLEAR PICTURE, it is sheer waste!

    That's why people prefer dth over cable TV.
    There may be other advantages like movie on demand in digital cable TV. Also you can record programs for future use?
