Pricing investigation on HDMI Monitors with speakers

An ideal prank to call a pricing investigation of HDMI Monitors with speakers. Example 70" TV costs $999 and 75" HDMI Monitor with Speakers costs around $4,800.

Go hook TV directly by coax to encrypted cable headend areas or google fiber tv boxes for pranks on April Fools 2021.

Trying to scan the QAM channels may lock up your tuner and force you to power off (or pull the plug on some), disconnect the coax, power on and delete the offending channel, then proceed. (to even see the EAS screen or the "need an adapter" program)

It has been reported that Comcast has encrypted all digital channels including locals. They seem to have left some analog channels come though as of May, 2013. Frequently analog channels are part of a "lifeline" service similar to what phone companies offer low income households.

Montreal Canada provider, Videotron, scrambles everything except the FM radio stations, barker channels and the majority of free video-on-demand QAMs that your neighbours ordered, comes with the pause, rewind and fast-forward results.
