My theory is that anytime you are paying for a service, Cable TV, Internet connection, telephone, etc, and they want you to rent the hardware, they are going to make more money on the hardware than on the service.

If you rent a Cable Box for 5 years at $5 a month, you should be able to buy one, with better functions, for less than $3000.00 you would have paid in rental.
