No. If you subscribe to cable service, the DTV transition should not affect any TV sets that are connected to your cable services. The DTV transition applies only to full-power broadcast television stations – stations that use the public airwaves to transmit their programming to viewers through a broadcast antenna.' I have not been notified of any FREE digital set-top box. I've known about the digital transition since the beginning of this scam. This is just another way Cablevision wants to f___ over the consumer once again. http://www.dtv.gov/consumercorner.html I believe it's time to turn off the boob tube and just rent the DVDs of the shows that I like to watch. Or better yet, just watch them on my HD 24' screen of my Mac.  more

In fact, the FCC requires cable companies to continue to provide local stations in analog as long as they provide any analog service, even after February 17, 2009 Comcast will carry analog for three more years and Verizon will be entirely digital. Can my cable company make me get a box to receive the cable channels I receive today without a box? Some cable companies have decided to switch to digital ...  more
