It's all still open!!
Only true on Sat, on Cable the box ownership remains with the cable co as does the maintainance and repair responsibility. This is I suppose the £5 a month difference between the additional subscription / box fee of NTL at £15 and Sky at £10.

Having used the Time Warner box SA8000 in the US plugged into a fiber optic digital audio out, the future of cable is indeed bright.
