How do I know if I already have digital programming through my cable or
satellite TV service?
Some cable companies have decided to switch to digital service. This is
a business decision made by the cable companies and is not required
by the federal government. Your cable company may decide to move
certain cable channels off of its analog service tier and onto a digital
service tier, or it may decide to switch to all-digital service at once, so
that there is no analog service tier for any subscribers. If your cable
company decides to move some or all of the channels it provides onto a
digital service tier, it may notify you that you need to get “digital cable”
equipment to continue receiving that cable service. This may include
renting or purchasing a digital cable set-top box or purchasing a digital
cable ready TV equipped with a “CableCARD” slot. The digital cable
equipment is different from the digital-to-analog converter boxes that are
used to receive over-the-air broadcast signals.
