Or is that what this is all about.....more cable subscribers????

depends on the view point, on the pros the picture you will get will be tack sharp as good or better than your cable picture, if in the future you ugrade to a new tv with a digital tuner and
HD. you will get the sharpest
HD available bar none. now you can invest a few hundred bucks in a good antenna system and your box but it still costs less than 6 months of Sat or Cable in my area.
Cons you have to upgrade your equipment box, antenna etc which cost a few hundred dollars, Glass half empty or Half full it's all how you look at it. the cable and sat companies hope you see the half empty side and just give up and pay the monthly fees.
PS. I have found if it's not suitable for kids to watch I really shouldn't be watching it either. and if we quit supporting the junk they will have to give us better programing and movies or go out of business. We are the consumer, even Detroit has had to wake up and smell the coffee. but that too is gonna cost us not them.
