you might be forced to switch to digital. supposedly by 2009, standard analog cable is going bye bye.

that's what i've heard, i have no sources on that i'm afraid

I'm toying with setting up a Myth TV box after Amul's preso.  I like the
idea of the external HDHomeRun box, but it looks like that's digital
only ( http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/products/hdhomerun).  I have (and
am not going to change) the super-duper el-cheapo $17/mo Comcast
non-digital, non-HD, no nothing plan.

I am not opposed to doing the over-the-air thing, but I have no HD TVs
and no immediate plans to get one.

Can I use the HDHomeRun with my Comcast setup?  Can I play it on a 10
year old non-HD TV with only coax and RCA inputs?

Another solution might be a TiVo Series 1 (and _TiVo Hacks_ :).

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
JP

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
