My cable TV provider says they are switching to a digital signal. What does that mean for me?

When cable TV companies switch their signals to digital, customers with older analog TVs and no cable box can no longer view cable TV. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires cable TV companies to make digital adapters available to these customers at no charge for a limited time. After that limited period ends, the digital adapters will cost most of these customers a few dollars a month. The switchover to digital is taking place in North Carolina at different times in different TV markets. Some areas and cable providers are already digital. For more information, contact your cable provider.
