1 edit | difference between HD and Digital cable. Is digital TV different from HDTV because I have an analog TV set being fed by Comcast Digital Cable through the tiny set top box. Is it that the signal in my coax wire from Comcast to my set top box is digital and that little box is just a digital to analog converter? |

| To receive HDTV you have to have a high definition television set.
This might explain the difference. I didn't read them.

In a nutshell: HDTV has to be digital but digital TV is not necessarily HD. Digital is the delivery system (think of a delivery truck). HD may be what is delivered but also maybe SD(standard definition) but it's all digital. |
