Not by my choice. Comcast forced a switch to all digital for my area. They forced me to get these little digital adapter boxes in order to continue seeing basic cable.
They really suck. Basic device no inputs or outputs just a coax in & out.
They allowed 3 per household. I have 4 TV's so 1 room will not have TV any longer.
My house cabling & splitters were so old they couldn't support digital. None of the boxes worked, comcast had to run a new cable to my house & then replace all the splitters & run an additional cable for 1 room.
Does all digital have a 2-3 sec delay when switching channels? I can no longer switch channels fast. Picture seems good. Still just basic cable though.

 

^^ welcome to the age of slooooow channel surfing.

Fast channel surfing died years ago.

 

Why do they only allow 3 per household? What about people that have 6-7 TV's in their home? Can you rent additional "adapter boxes"?

And yes, digital cable channel surfing sucks.

 

I remember when digital cable was a new thing in my parents area. I never had it, nor did my parents, but friends of mine had it. When you'd tune to a channel, the picture would "load" like a progressive JPEG going from super pixelated to the typical SD picture everyone knew and loved. I think the whole process, going from channel to channel, was roughly ~5-10 seconds.

 

Go with DirecTV. Got 5 TV's in the house all hooked up for HD Tv. Cheaper than TimeWarner was.

 

you get 3 free per household, after that i guess you rent them.
