Another "fine" Enhancement By The Cable Company, Anyone encounter this at an RV Park? Options

The RV Park I'm currently spending the winter at near Seattle just got notified by their cable company that the cable connection will no longer be "direct." Meaning, you cannot just hook up your cable cord and voila get TV. Guess what, every TV, even the digital ones, will require a "box." This basically means that the RV park will have to stock those boxes, and check one out to each customer if they want TV. And hope that the box will be returned.

Another alternative is that you have to have some type of "cable card" connect to your TV, even if you already have a digital TV.

Anyone encounter this at an RV park, where you cannot even watch cable without a "box?" I have never encountered this. Oh, and guess what, you need one "box" per TV. If you have more than one TV in the TV, you need one box per TV.

I have already seen the banners from the cable provider run across the programs while watching TV.

My thoughts would be to cancel cable and pass the savings on to the camper. But that maybe why I don`t have a bussnes.As most people have Satelite.Maybe cut a few trees and make it where all sites can get satelite.Maybe rent out a box and dish for the ones that can`t do with out it.
