Could you really sue a cable company for the cost of the TV that you didn't
have to buy? I'm in a situation right now where I'm a slave to the converter
box in order to get the pay channels. It is especially frustrating when I
want to program recordings of different channels and I have to be there to
change the channel on the converter box.
