They made the cable companies pay for the PSAs. Since the cable companies do not make any money if everyone just gets a free-to-cheap converter box and watches the free digital instead of buying basic cable, the PSAs dance around this issue in a rather uninformative way and their customer service reps are given no training on it, by and large.
