Re: Wait, what?

Yaco that's the same wording that gets me confused just like the original poster. You don't use rabbit ears to receive cable. I too was under the impression that the digital transition only affected broadcast as in over the air, not broadcast standards regardless of service.

Perhaps my confusion is between delivery of service and type of service and that there is digital service and that there is a digital type of service, something I never really though out till right now.

So for deliver of service digital would be 200, 300 type channels and on demand requiring you to have a digital converter box from the company.
For type of service it would be cable trans mission of th Digital channels like say ch2.1 and ch2.2 meaning that its still the equivalent of the Analog service and you don't need a cable box if you have a QAM Turner.

Hi,
Correct. I too was under the impression that in a closed system (Not over the air) Analog was good to go. It seems that from Karl's post and from the letter from VZ that this is not the case. I know for a fact that with TW we now have less than 20 channels at work with the Analog boxe.
