this is ewhat i wanna know. are digital set top boxes the same as HD (high definition) top boxes??

High definition decoders are digital! You can get standard definition decoders and high definition.

and if they are why dont companies like foxtel and that use rf signals for there broadcast's, obviously sequrity is one, but i though that pretty much wiped that out with the new cardless boxes they brought out.

just seams cheaper by my point of view?

Foxtel did start out years ago by transmitting their signal via microwave transmitters. You still see some houses these days with the old MDS antennas.
The fact is that its cheaper for Optus/Telstra to run a dedicated cable than have transmitters everywhere.
Also for FYI, the cardless boxes you speak off still have advanced decryption like the boxes requiring smart cards. Just that instead of registering the smart card, you now register the box.
