After digital tv cutover will I be able to receive cable programming using a generic digital converter?
Currently I am receiving all my programming through cable. Some of my TVs are analog cable ready which are directly corrected to the cable system without a cable box. After the 2009 cut over to digital, will I be able to continue to receive programming on these TVs without a digital box, using either a generic digital converter or without a converter at all as I am currently using. Will the cable companies continue to offer analog programming over the wire or will they force their customers to get a set top boxes. In other words, are they still obligated to continue to provide analog programming after this point?
If you continue to use cable, you will not be affected by the 2009 transition. The 2009 transition affects only Over The Air (OTA) broadcasts, cable and satellite providers should still support analog until about 2012.
If you wish to receive OTA programming, you will need to upgrade to a digital TV receiver or get a converter box and hook up to an antenna.
