DTV issues

[Sid Schweiger]

>>I have cable, and I assume that if my VCR (which has 
an analog tuner) is connected to cable, I'll still be able to record 
shows with it, just as I can watch shows with an analog TV.  And I 
assume that if I connect the adaptor to a VCR, it will record a 
program just as it always has.<<

For only as long as analog cable exists, and its sunset is only a few years away at most.  RCN has already killed analog cable here in Brighton (as we found out the hard way, since no one bothered to let us know in advance), and the rest are sure to follow.  Since the CableCard standard turned out to be a monumental flop, when your cable system decides to abandon analog, you'll need to put a cable box in front of every TV and recording device you have.
