i've heard/read similar things. most recently in a popular science article.
in a related story ... our old comcrap box used to reset to the comcrap channel every time it was turned on. they are the most narcisistic, overtly self serving company. and get this: we actually pay less - LESS! - for internet and basic cable than we would if we had just internet. for the longest time i didn't get it, then it finally hit me that they do that so they can show a larger number of cable subscribers than they actually have.
dirty tactics. no reason they wouldn't play dirty elsewhere.
