How many people pay ridiculous Cable or Satellite Pay-Per-View prices anyway? Sure, you might get that movie a little earlier than it's released, but if you loved the movie that much, you need to get an f-ing life.
How many refunds are Comcast, DirectTv, etc.. going to have to give out each time someone with an old TV calls in to complain about the fact that the movie they paid to watch isn't showing on their TV?
Comcast had a HUGE campaign making sure all their subscribers knew they wouldn't have to update their TV for the digital-TV switch. I can see the class-action lawsuit now, and it will be glorious.
