"RCN dropping analog channels; Customers will need converter boxes as cable firms switch to digital" by Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Staff | June 14, 2008
Depending on the provider, that means subscribers used to plugging a TV directly into coaxial cable may now need a digital converter box for every TV in their house, or else the sets will go dark....
I say LEAVE THEM THAT WAY!
Get yourself a DVD player or something and FUCK CABLE!!
You are BETTER OFF without it!!!
The federal government has tried to educate consumers about a different digital transition - the end of over-the-air analog broadcasts. By next February, people who watch TV with an antenna will need a digital converter box....
Right, there's the government again: HELPING YOU!
So when you gonna shut down the war, gummint?
The shifts occurring at cable providers are driven by competition, and may take customers by surprise...."

Oh, I can go satellite, etc, I see ($$$$)!
Strange, when the PUBLIC OWNS the AIRWAVES -- and only LEASES THEM to the MSM networks!!!
