Maybe you don't understand how things work in the US. This has nothing to do with cable. It's about over-the-air broadcast. If it had just been cable there wouldn't be a problem.

What does delivery medium have to do with anything? I guarantee no kid knows the difference. They press channel up and channel down. It makes no sense why one would be upset over that.

As I pointed out above. The medium is important because the spectrum is a public resource, and cable isn't.
