Most of the US market had shifted to cable TV by the introduction of digital TV, and simply wasn&#x27;t aware that it existed.<p>I think there&#x27;s a bit of a generational divide: older people think of the cable companies as the institution that brought us 500 channels. Younger people either can&#x27;t imagine a world without cable TV, or loathe the cable companies for high prices and poor service. I&#x27;m the latter, and have been eager to find any way to reduce any connection to the big telecom companies. Right now, rabbit ears + Netflix&#x2F;Hulu + cable internet is just one element short of perfect.
