A cable box doesn't need to be open source... But, when you look at what projects like MythTV are accomplishing, you'll see that there is serious potential to offer open source next-generation PVR/iTV applications on a wide range of hardware -- something the big consumer electronics companies will probably be slow to do.
The cable companies are certainly within their rights to do whatever they want with their content. It's just a shame that it comes at the cost of consumer choice and innovation.
