Well, once again you say you are informed, but offer zero information
to back your claim.. I mean, it's obvious that you have plenty of time
to correct me (cut and paste from google), but you really have nothing
to offer... Stick to insults, it's all you have...
==================================
I'll try.
If you have an older, non-digital television and hook it up to your cable
directly from the wall, meaning no cable box, whatever programming you can
watch is analog. *It can be good, or it may be fuzzy. *Analog signals can be
processed and displayed even if they are weak, whereas with digital you will
either get a lock and a "perfect" picture or you'll get no picture at all..
You can see digital occasionally dropping out of sync. *The TV actually has
a buffer in it (as does the cable box) to filter out these occasional,
temporary dropouts.
The cable companies currently send both analog and digital programming. *If
you are using a cable box and a non-digital TV, the box is converting the
digital programming to analog so your TV can display it.
HD programming is all digital.
But .... *(big but) ... *just because you get a digital TV, it doesn't mean
you will receive all digital programming sent without a cable box. * You
need a cable box to receive any non-basic, premium programs. * It all
depends on what your purchased "package" includes.
