Will Comcast subscriber with analog tv require converter box after 2/18/09?

From CNN today:
“The great majority of consumers — anyone whose television is hooked up to a cable or satellite service or owns a digital set — will not be affected.”

Is this correct? We are “digital cable” subscribers, but most of our tv’s are analog. Right now, they are connected directly to the coax cable with no box. Will this continue to be the case after 2/18/09? Calls to Comcast customer service have not been conclusive with an answer.

Related question: One of our tv’s is HDTV, but made in 2001 so I don’t think it’s digital. It’s connected through Comcast’s HDTV box. Will this same box do the same job after 2/18/09 or will a different HDTV box be required if the HDTV is an analog TV?

Cable customers are not directly affected by the coming DTV changeover.

The cable companies have agreed to continue to provide analog versions of the local over the air digital TV until 2012, or to provide converter boxes.

So, your analog TVs will continue to receive at least the standard over the air channels. What the cable providers do with the remainder of their analog channels, is up to them. It would not be surprising if they changed many of them to digital. They certainly will put pressure on their customers to upgrade to digital service. This is probably why you aren’t getting a straight answer from them. How much they will be able to change in your area will depend on whether there is effective competition in your area, and how many customers voluntarily switch over to digital or HD service.

If you have an HDTV, then it has to have a digital capability. That does not mean it can receive digital cable TV without a digital box. It just means that, as a minimum, it has to have digital processing capability.

The 2/18/09 date is only a deadline for over the air broadcasts. Cable providers are not directly affected. If your TV is connected via Comcast’s HD box, then nothing changes, except you should expect Comcast to be increasing their selection of digital and HDTV over time.

See the links below for some more detail on the changeover.

Drink yourself healthy with these life changing, easy to use ”tea bags” This sachet of ocean coral and minerals is meant to be used like using a tea bag. The coral mineral sachet’s have no ”tea” in them. They consist of pure coral minerals. You simply place the little sachet bag in a quart of water, wait five minutes and start to enjoy the benefits of this super antioxidant drink, FEEL BETTER FAST! Would you like a healthier life style? Minimize the risk of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and other degenerative diseases by using this simple solution. Dr. Richard Viogt talks about how he had shoulder pain for twenty five years. He took many different medicines for his pain, but nothing worked. He began adding the CORAL CAL DAILY to everything he drank, and the pain is gone. His mother-in-law had burning in her feet for many years. Dr. Voigt gave her CORAL CAL DAILY and the burning in her feet has gone away. CORAL CAL DAILY reduces free radicals, helps your body get the proper mineral balance, and reduces the body acid levels. Chlorine, found in most of our water supplies is a free radical, which is known to cause cancer. CORAL CAL DAILY sachets can netralize chlorine. Drinking water that has been treated with CORAL CAL DAILY will free up the hydrogen neurons, allowing your body to heal itself, because you are getting more oxygen to every cell. Drinking water is good for you. Most Americans are in a state of dehydration most of the time. For good hydration one should drink one ounce of water per day for every half-pound of weight. Say you weigh 160 pounds, you should be drinking 80oz. of water per day, that is only 8 10oz glasses a day. Remember, body fluids of healthy individuals are alkaline ( with a high pH value). Most degenerative diseases have been linked to mineral and calcium deficiencies that result in low pH levels. Cancer, for example, thrives in an acidic medium, and can not servive in an alkaline medium. Drinking this treated water will raise your pH level and give you highly absorbable amounts of important minerals. Coral Cal Daily uses premium grade, 100% pure, ionized bioavailable coral minerals, collected from the fossilized coral granules of Okinawa, Japan, with ecological safety overseen by the Japanese government for the protection of the coral reefs and marine life. Coral Cal Daily naturally provides us with important marine nutrients. When added to water (or any liquid) highly absorbable ionized marine minerals are released, creating delicious tasting, highly absorbant, alkalized water to hydrate your body. Suggested Use: Place one sachet into 1 to 2 liters of water or your favorite beverage. Gently stir or shake. Leave sachet in liquid.
