Now, what to do with all of those analog cable boxes that I have kicking around? I guess they will be totally worthless after the digital cable switch. The only old analog box that I may hang on to is a 37 channel Jerrold non-remote box from the late '70's-early '80's. This box has a row of "clicker" buttons and a three position toggle switch to select the desired channel band. I don't think I've actually seen one of these boxes in use since the mid '80's. By that time, the cable company was using remote controlled boxes that had digital LED displays. These boxes would turn the TV on and off with the remote and a few of them would even control the volume with the remote.
