most people that have cable should be ok but they may need a digital box as the cable co move more stuff to it. But they need to stop moving channels that used to be on the analog cable to digital cable lineups that have other channels that you don't want to pay more for.
Interesting to note, the cable companies are not required to change to all digital. The great digital TV switch only applies to over the air television broadcasts.

Cable companies are just using this as a way to gouge even more money out of subscribers.

 yes, but cable companies WANT to change to all digital, as it frees up additional bandwidth (analog signals use much more b/w). Right now, I believe the FCC is preventing the cablecos from transitioning to all digital (until the official transition) so people that don't want to use a cable box can still get the basic tier by connecting directly to their old, analog TVs.
