If you have cable service, you should not need a converter box. The box is for people who don't have cable and who are using older TV's that are not digital-ready.<div><br></div><div>If you want to get a converter box, you can get a $40 off coupon usable at any retailer by going to this website:</div>

Each time I contact Comcast, I get different answers. I have an older analog TV. I have basic cable service, no movies, etc. The cable box on my TV is the older style box, not the newer digital box. I've been told on various calls/computer chats with Comcast that; on call #1 I was told no problem, I'm good to go; on call #2; if I have the older cable box, I'll need a digital cable box or converter; and #3; even if I have the older cable box, as the signals will be sent digitally to all Comcast customers, I SHOULD BE ok. (operative phrase, "should be.") I admit to being technologically challenged, hopefully someone out there is more in-the-know on these things? Thanks for any help you can give me.<br>
