Right. What sydric said. I think what's confusing is that companies are all going DIGITAL next year, but not all HD (High Definition).
Therefore, one will no longer be able to connect the cable cable directly to the TV (which is analog cable - all TVs can understand analog). In 2009, a digital converter box (converts the 1s and 0s to a picture) will be necessary to watch TV. One will still have to pay an extra premium and buy an HDTV ready TV to watch HDTV.
