 RY>> If they were to do that that's pretty much the idea. Last I heard,
 RY>> about 80 of the country has cable, but those of us who only have

 MR> Makes me wonder also, isn't it this year that at the end of the year,
 MR> everything goes digital? I like kill two birds with one stone, I have
 MR> the Cable modem hooked to the BBS, and then there is a splitter they
 MR> pu on for me so I get basic cable, free. Now when everything goes
 MR> digital, I would have to have a digital tv or not be able to view,
 MR> right. I know this is off the beaten path of what we were talking
 MR> about. I just wonder how many people there are that are not ready for
 MR> digital only.

no prob. As best as I can tell you you should not need anything else with the
set-up you have. Digital Tv will however affect those that have bunny ears, as
the channels will be disserent,and the receivers will have to match.  I don't
think that's scheduled for the end of this year, though, but next at the
soonest.

And then there's HDTV...

It's so confusing even to me, and I've been in this business a while..
