I am trying to figure out the cheapest way to get cable. I currently have an older TV that isn't digital ready so I only get a few channels that I am assuming are analog
My roommate upstairs, I noticed, gets WAY more channels including cartoon network. He is using the same method I am (tv plugged directly to cable. No vcr or anything). I assume that his TV is digital ready.
What is the best and most affordable way for me to receive digital cable?
Is it possible to buy one of those tristar universal boxes and use that with comcast so I don't have to rent a box from them? I assume you can call them to tell them you bought your own but is it compatible.
Thanks
