I don't think that cable companies view this as a problem. My cable company, Cablevision, has probably been the best of a bad lot with their iOS apps but none of them really wants any major disruption to the current system. Those who are cutting the cord probably would've done it anyway because the prices have got incredibly expensive, especially with OTA networks demanding large fees. I could see a Netflix, Apple, MS or Google managing to break the 'HBO window' but TV shows are going to take a much longer time.
