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.
