Then, I checked the kitchen TV, which is also directly connected to cable, and it would also not receive anything above 12.

I'm glad they at least left 2-12 in analog. That way, I can still use the rotary tuner in a TV and I will at least have some sort of signal, without having to hook up a box, for quickly checking out a TV.

Offering channels 2-12 is the bare minimum for cable companies until 2012 when they will unfortunately be allowed to fully transition to digital.
