So, wouldn't it have made sense during this digital revolution to have required all these new TVs/coverter boxes to support something like the V-chip so that it would allow broadcasters to air any content any time like in most civilized countries?

All DTV receivers I've seen support ratings blocks, I think its required like the v-chip was.

Cable self sensors because they know the FCC would find a way extend the restrictions to cable if they didn't.

I don't know about you, but I see this is all over TV anyways... from soaps to the local news.

Good point. I just meant that any increase in undesirable activity would be blamed by some on allowing swearing and nudity on TV.
