If you had paid attention like 2 years ago you would've been able to buy a Digital-to-Analog Converter on the cheap. Comcast has free boxes for customers. Do your parents have Cable/ Satalite? Ask them if the cable company will provide a complimentary box for you.

Will be checking with Comcast in the morning.

The thing was that I could have sworn my TV was Digital. When the change was made my TV was unaffected despite almost everyone else's analog being killed. Which got me to believe mines was a Digital. Till today anyway.

It's not that I won't buy one (would have to eventually anyway) It's just that we're in a situation where getting a new TV is almost laughably impossible (largely due to almost no one hiring me despite meeting every requirement and being first in the interviews). Money is tight for me.

My only hope in getting up to date with my TV is hoping I land work at a super store.

That and well, I need a new desk top set up (PC, Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse). So I'm already going to have to replace around $500+ worth of stuff as is.

First two (or three, depending on your package) digital converter boxes are free of charge. After that they are $1.99 a piece per month. I should know as I've been handing out over two hundred a day for the last three weeks to pissed off people who were too lazy to get this shit taken care of months ago when we were telling people this shit was going to happen.

And yes, you have to get the converters for any TV that doesn't already have a Comcast Digital box, HD box, or DVR box attached to it. This is because the digital signal that will be fed to your house will be scrambled and the digital converter boxes are more or less glorified de-scrambler boxes.

If you wanted to look at it from a social engineering perspective, Comcast is eking out some extra profits from people who have more than three TV's in their house. Teach you people to go put a damn TV in every damn room, patio, and toilet in your houses. I had to listen to four people bitch today because they had between ten and fifteen TV's in their house and they had to pay extra for each adapter beyond the first few. Who the fuck has fifteen TV's, a house to hold them all in, and still finds time to complain about their cable bill going up twenty or thirty bucks so that all their shit works?

We only need 2 (one in my room and the one in the den). So that's good to here that Comcast will hand them out for free (should have done it sooner but we've been ify about rather or not it would cost us extra).

How long will it take for them to ship the boxes out?

Don't trust those jack-off shipping people with anything. Walk into your local office and ask for two boxes.

Haha. I wonder what billing system you guys use. We get shipping problems occasionally too.
