Rent or Own? The New Cable-TV Dilemma

Some interesting stuff I'm curious to see how it pans out. What are you guys gonna do, buy or continue to rent? I'm sure plenty of old DirecTV users are content with renting cable boxes. I remember several friends that just had old DirecTV dishes & boxes chillin in their garage, so curious to see. Maybe this will help more people convert to cable card?

Wall Street Journal

 Beginning July 1, the Federal Communications Commission has ordered cable companies to supply only set-top boxes that can accept a so-called cablecard that slides into the set-top box and determines a customer's level of access to cable service. The change is meant to give consumers nationwide the option of buying their own set-top boxes — or TVs that can use the cablecard — rather than renting one.
