Hi mjonline,
Sounds like your area is making the digital transition. By Going All Digital, you help Cox to add more channels to the cable lineup. A digital channel takes less bandwidth to get to your home than a non-digital or analog channel. With this change, all TVs must have digital equipment - such as a mini box, CableCard, or Advanced TV Receiver if you want to continue to receive television service on them. This will not affect your internet service, therefore, you will not need a mini box for your internet. I hope this information helps.

The difference is that Cox is now encrypting the service, so you will need a mini-box to decrypt. Your digital-ready TV can't do that.
No, it's not required for internet, it has nothing to do with internet. You use a modem and router for internet.
