I guess so. We do not have digital cable or HD tv sets so the S-video

Comcast hasn't gone to "digital" cable in your part of the country?

Many subscribers, me included up until a few days ago, just have a basic
cable service meaning there is no cable box. The cable is simply hooked
up to the VHF antenna input on the TV and you use the TV tuner to choose
the channels. In this case, all channels are analog.

Really? I had no idea you could still "do" that. No wonder I keep seeing
"PSAs" about "cable theft." I was wondering how the hell you could do that
if you had a remotely accessed cable control box on top of your TV set
that can be shut off by the cable company.


I suppose you could steal the service, assuming the cable company didn't
disconnect the cable at the pole. You can subscribe to it and it only costs
about 12.95 a month. Senior citizens can get it for about 9 bucks and they
get all the local channels plus most of the no cost cable channels.
