Aren't parks supposed to be for the public?

Is a Cable box or a qam even needed ?
Macha posted the following which brings up a good question. "Posted by Macha January 13, 2010 @RobertF: True, but I'd bet anyone would be hard pressed to find a TV that could tune an over-the-air digital signal and not a cable digital signal." ...

Cable box rebellion of 2010
It is my understanding that even if you buy a new Digital T.V. most of them do not have a QAM that is copmapiable with the FPB cable system. FPB says that even if we buy a new T.V. we still have to rent a cable Box. Whether this is true or not we may...
