I have found a lot of the information about the digital conversion to be pretty confusing. Not surprisingly, the info from my cable company is pretty biased toward doing something in their favor.
If you have a digital convertor box from the cable company, you won't need to do anything with your TV. If you have a newer TV, like a 27 inch or larger, set purchased within the last three years, it probably has a digital convertor built in. If you take your TV signal direct from the air, (no cable), or like me, have no convertor box, just the cable going straight into the TV, you will need to get a convertor box or a new TV. The feds will be coughing up 40 dollar coupons for anyone making less than some amount of household income, to purchase a convertor box. I was poking around on the comcast website, my local cable mafia affiliate, and it is pretty impressive how expensive cable is these days. I have the most basic cable possible, only the network channels, and one or two other stations and it costs me $16 a month. If I upgrade to the next best thing, it jumps up to like 50 bucks a month.
