thank you Charles,<br> I spoke with Cablevision CUS and he informed me that by the end of February CV is going 100% digital and even for basic line-up we will have to have their boxes? (and , i have no doubts, pay for them). This whole cable TV provider<br>

As mentioned, you can use analog tuners to get the analog feed from the cablebox. Another option if you want to get your network channels in HD is to use an ATSC tuner and antenna. Depending on where you are, this can actually give you a better signal than cable. And of course, it's free.</div>
