I guess I'm a Luddite. My big, 20 yrs old TV works just fine with cable connection. Just got a notice from cable company that they were going to make us analog types rent a special adapter come April for $1.00/mo/tv. If I did not have cable, I would only get 2 stations, mostly snow, and it galls me to have to spend $73/month to watch the news or 2-3 programs a week. Might have to break down and get a new flat screen but the idea is just painful.
