By doing so, you'll make the independent companies more profitable.   
Eventually, they'll become attractive enough that one of the big  
companies will buy them out. ;)

It's kind of interesting how things have come full circle.  It used to  
be there was no such thing as a "cable-ready" TV.  If you had cable,  
you had to rent the cable company's set-top box.  Eventually, cable- 
ready TVs and VCRs appeared, and cable boxes disappeared.  Now we're  
headed firmly back into the cable box era.
