Oh boy, that would be pretty awful. Do we know what kind of timeline the cable companies are planning to persue with this? I've got 3 analog tuners and no plans to pay for digital cable anytime soon. Greg, do you have any information on those digital->analog converters they've got? Are they freebies? Is Comcast publishing this switchover? Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to research some of those things a bit more. I guess I was getting complacent in my Myth box just running for so many years without much effort. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
