No cable box needed for HD
In March 2008, we were in an RV park in Del Rio, Texas. Boy, was I shocked. I hooked up the coax to my HDTV, let it "auto tune" and when it finished, I had about 200 channels. No box, no nothing. About 30 stations were HD. CBS and NBC at 1080i and ABC and Fox at 720P. Some other cable channels were in HD, most or all at 720P. For the various OTA stations, they had all the sub channels. I think some in the cable industry have deceived customers by forcing them to rent a box for "digital" and "HD".. It appears a box is only needed if that is what the cable company requires to receive their service. They just want the extra money by making you rent several boxes.
