OK, got it. Just different terminology. We have cable, so the switch over didn't affect us... but we have 2 TVs that are not digital; so we bought the boxes for those 2, because Comcast is going all digital in 2010. Well, except now, you won't be able to get the over the air HD broadcasts in HD with these boxes, once the change occurs. We unplugged the box on our TV in the bedroom (that we actually do watch) for now, since the change hasn't happened yet, and my DH is going to try to figure out a way to get the digital signal and the HD on a TV that doesn't have a cable box or card.
