It'll work. The only thing that the going digital thing will
affect is
if you use an antenna. What I'm ****ed about is that now the
History
Channel has went to digital format, the only way you can get it is
with the Comcast box. Only have one on the main TV, all the
other TV's
are just wired directly to cable.
I really believe soon we will be getting content like "history" and
"discovery" directly from the internet with the cable company only
providing bandwidth. If guys like the Mythbusters could get us
to pay
a dime an episode for the download they would make more money than
they do through the network and cable company distribution with
very
little cost to them.
That's true. I'm having a little trouble understanding the thing
with
the History channel. They went digital, so I get no signal unless it
goes through Comcast's box. Any other TV doesn't get it. BUT,
when all
cable goes digital, it's not supposed to affect the cable ready
TV's.
What's up with that?
"Digital" is a misnomer really. Before congress sold out to China to
force everyone to buy new TV's (Y2K hoax all over again), cable
companies used the word "digital" to make pay channels sound better..
In fact, all cable signals are "Digital". But to the cable companies
"digital" was a way of sorting out the good channels so they could
make them "premium" which is what they really should have called
them.. Of course that would have come off just as phony as their
claim
that "Sattelite" providers are resold, have you ever gone by a
"cable"
office and seen all the sattelite dishes in front
Once again, you demonstrate you simply do not understand anything.
Stick
to sandpaper, or something else that doesn't require thinking.-

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...

Tell you the truth, I find it far more fun and more interesting, too,
to watch you and several others wallow in your ignorance and stupidity.

Here's a hint: "digital" in cable tv usage has a lot to do with
numbers like 480, 720, and higher, and very little to do with beaming
signals down from satellites.

Um...no?

Here - this may help.

You incorrectly parsed my response. I was responding to the marketing by
cable companies, not the technology.

You will never find a Cable Company selling High Definition vs Regular
Definition by using a marketing term "digital". When a cable company
discusses "digital" they are talking about the method of transmitting
the information over the cable. Even when it was pointed out to you,
you are busy tap dancing instead of just admitting you had no idea what
you were talking about.
