This would be *your* desired outcome.  In reality, the few people who
drop their cable service in response to this behavior will likely be
greatly outweighed by the revenue generated by all the nontechnical
users who went from renting zero cable boxes to renting three cable
boxes for each of the televisions in their household.

Sad, but probably the reality of it.
