Some of those STBs have very interesting feature sets, unlike the dumb
cables stbs of the past (my first cable stb was in 1973; the last was in
1990.)

Seriously? You mean, "Many cable subscribers
who are getting by without STB choose to go to
digital cable specifically because digital cable
forces them to install an STB?"
Or do you mean that many people like the benefits
of digital cable enough that they are willing to
put up with having the STB?
Note: I'm not talking about a PVR or other
recording device with integrated receiver in the
description of what an STB is. It's easy for me
to believe that people like a PVR (with integrated
receiver) in their TV system. It's very hard for
me to believe that people would prefer having the
STB and separate monitor and recording device(s)
connected to the STB.
