Well, once again you say you are informed, but offer zero information
to back your claim.. I mean, it's obvious that you have plenty of time
to correct me (cut and paste from google), but you really have nothing
to offer... Stick to insults, it's all you have...

==================================

I'll try.

If you have an older, non-digital television and hook it up to your cable
directly from the wall, meaning no cable box, whatever programming you can
watch is analog. It can be good, or it may be fuzzy. Analog signals can be
processed and displayed even if they are weak, whereas with digital you will
either get a lock and a "perfect" picture or you'll get no picture at all.
You can see digital occasionally dropping out of sync. The TV actually has
a buffer in it (as does the cable box) to filter out these occasional,
temporary dropouts.

The cable companies currently send both analog and digital programming. If
you are using a cable box and a non-digital TV, the box is converting the
digital programming to analog so your TV can display it.

HD programming is all digital.

But .... (big but) ... just because you get a digital TV, it doesn't mean
you will receive all digital programming sent without a cable box. You
need a cable box to receive any non-basic, premium programs. It all
depends on what your purchased "package" includes.
