I assumed that we were talking about waves rather than cables!

Not true, cable has to switch to a digital signal too. It's actually there
in this area on Comcast and the digital cable boxes will only accept that
digital signal, if you put a VCR in line before the digital box, it won't
work. It used to but about 2 months before I switched, they changed that so
my VCR that was in line before the cable box had to be moved to after the
box because the box wouldn't take the signal coming out of the VCR anymore.
I switched with the box downstairs and has the same thing happen, no luck.
That's not why I switched to the dish, but I sure am glad I did. We might
not have to, if the receiver keeps putting out an analog signal, I'll have
to check on that. If you have the digital cable boxes and stuff, it might
not need to be changed, they'll probably be fazed out rather than replaced
right away.
