    Lounge Rules
    • If your post belongs in a different forum, please post it there.
    • While this area is for off-topic conversations, that doesn't mean that every conversation will be permitted. The moderators will, at their sole discretion, close or delete any threads which do not serve a beneficial purpose to the community.

    Understand that while The Lounge is here as a place to relax and discuss random topics, that doesn't mean we will allow any topic. Topics which are inflammatory, hurtful, or otherwise clash with our Mac-Forums Community Guidelines will be removed.

how are you geared up for the digital switch in feb 2009?

In case anyone here is still confused (and it seems that some people are), here is the skinny, direct from the cable companies:

Comcast said:
Comcast customers: You’re ready already. You don’t need to do a thing.
No antennas or set-top equipment required.

Time Warner Cable said:
What does the Digital Transition (DTV) mean for Basic Cable customers?
Relax. Time Warner Cable has you covered! As long as your televisions are connected to Time Warner Cable service, you’ll continue to enjoy all your favorite channels and shows after the Digital Transition (DTV).

Blue Mountain Cable said:
The Digital Transition only affects customers who do not own a digital set and still get their programming via over-the-air antennas or through rabbit ears. Our cable customers do not need a new TV or an analog to digital converter box.
