What changes, if any, did you guys in the USA have to make when your TV went digital? I am specifically interested in cable. This has been mentioned in passing some time ago and I understand that those with rabbit ears had some issues. At the same time I remember public announcements that *no* changes will be required for those with satellite or cable connections.
Canada is supposed to go digital in 2011. So far there has been a deafening silence about it in the media. The cable companies are pushing digital converters like crazy, I assume the reason being that the fees from those will disappear when the change occurs.
I succumbed today in order to get TSN2 and because the box was on trial for free for 6 months. I have the whole thing arranged with two HD recorders so I can record two programs at once and watch a third one.
I was reluctant to invest any more pending the digital changeover. However, when I discussed it with a salesman in the local London Drugs he was fairly certain that older TVs will not work after the changeover - something to do with digital tuners.
Thanks,
