|  [CATV] Quick question about digital cable
I have a quick question about Cox digital cable for you all.
What I want to know is if I can mix digital and analog cable in the same house.
The situation is this:
2 TVs both currently with standard analog cable (no set top box). I am looking to upgrade one of the TVs to a new HD set with Cox Digital Cable and a HD receiver box.
Can I keep the other TV as it is or do both TVs need to have the digital box? This is in Palos Verdes, California if it makes a difference. |

All Cox services provided use the same coaxial cable once they reach the house. Yes, you can have TV's with digital set top boxes and TV's without boxes in the same home. |

| Thanks CoxTech1.
I thought that would be the case, but I wanted to make sure before I make the jump.
And as far as calling Cox goes, I think I got a reply here faster than it would take to navigate that annoying phone tree of theirs.  |

1 edit | the way you said it made it sound like he would need to pay for digital on each tv he had, but need a box for each tv. |
