Do cable customers with analog TV sets have to buy a converter box from their cable company?
Viewers who subscribe to an analog cable service will be able to continue watching their programs. The deadline of February 17, 2009 applies to full-power broadcast stations, and cable companies are not required by the government to change to digital. Under FCC rules, they are required to broadcast some programs in analog as long as they provide the analog service. In 2011 the FCC will decide if this should continue.
