Digital TV question

[Holly_Hobby]

We bought our Sony flat screen TV about 3 years ago. We have basic cable - no box. The cable is connected directly to the back of the TV. It's a basic model, not able to connect surround sound, etc.

How do we find out if we need to buy a box for next year's digital change? I'm so confused....

1. My understanding is that the only people who will need coverters or new TVs

are those who have analog TVs AND get their broadcasts via an antenna. If you have cable OR you have a digital TV, you will be fine. Here's an article that explains it: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/consumersmarts/archives/122960.asp

2. You're fine

There is NO change to the way cable gets delivered. Longhorn's comments are spot on.

3. Thanks!

I didn't even have to ask Mr. Longhorn this time! :D

5. The only change is if you have satellite

and want to upgrade to an HD box for that particular TV.

My eyes aint that good, so I'm still watching analog on my HD capable flat screen.
