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

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.

We updated a year ago to digital.
Getting ready for the big shift to HDTV in the near future.

When you are ready to buy, take a long look at the glass tube flat
screen HD TVs before you pay extra for one of the thin screens. It is
still true that the glass tube TVs produce better pictures, and without
your being able to see pixels. And, of course, the viewing angle with a
glass tube TV is still wider than that of an LCD or plasma (overpriced)
screen.


I've been keeping close watch on Consumer Reports magazine (just paid
the $12.00 US so I could search online) for any ecommendations in HD
TVs. Quite a choice between the CRT type, LCDs, Plasma & DLP.
I'll increase my research when I get close to buying one.
My smaller living room (in a WW2 era house) calls for a 32" max.
Anything bigger is getting hard to lug around.

We went with the Sony KV-34XBR910, and absolutely love it. It's over a year old now,
so there may be a new model. This series also came in a 30". Ours is 34"

Something like this. http://tinyurl.com/92sh9

Consumer Reports liked the one we bought, and we've been very happy with it.
