YES you will nead a DTV box for your analog TV,VCR and DVR recorder if you have comcast. How many billions of dollars will comcast make requiring so many people to get a box for each analog tuner in what video you have in your home over 3.

I don’t think it affected me at all. I thought we were going to have the switch like change some things.

Instead, it was like it never even happened. Everything is literally the exact same as before.

This DTV over the air sounds nice on paper but when you get it and keep losing signal then you will see that it it’s not so sweet..

I am confused a little because Comcast still offers Standard Cable (channels 2-99) and it’s consitered analog cable. Why is this? They said it would go ALL digital…

I’m not American but from what I heard – the US has not done a full digital conversion like what they did in some part of Europe. I believe smaller localised networks will continue transmitting in analogue for a little while.

The digital conversion is a terrible conversion, the channels keep cutting out into blank or blocky screen, the sound studders and cuts out. Each day is different and cloudy days, forget it.. At least with analog you can still watch your program if the signal wasn’t that great..

dudesons90 @ 10:47 pm #

well, what kind of antenna do you have?

This was stupid. Basicly a money scam for whoever had none-digital TV’s, they had to buy a converter box or a new TV. Doesn’t help in anyway so this was freakin’ annoying.
