If your tv is digital do you still need a digital box to receive service?

Hi Hconway,

Up to this point, Cox has been providing both an analog and a digital broadcast feed. A digital channel takes less bandwidth to get to your home than a non-digital or analog channel. Making the switch to all-digital allows Cox to utilize bandwidth more efficiently; we'll be able to add more HD channels, increase internet speeds, and add new products. Once the transition to all-digital is complete, every TV must have digital equipment such as a mini box, CableCARD, or Advanced TV Receiver to receive the full TV Essential channel lineup. Please let us know if you have other questions we can help with.
