This channel did just recently switch to digital only in your area. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I too am very disappointed that ion tv now requires a box. We have had ion for years on the tv without a cable box. To switch this is simply Cox's way of adding more revenue and take advantage of the customer. Not a very good thing for Cox to do.

No doubt this change comes as a disappointment to many viewers choosing to still hold on to the traditional analog TV sets. The FCC several years ago mandated the end of broadcast analog TV transmission and while we opted to maintain an analog direct to set option as long as it was viable TV will be continuing the transition to a digital only format. This allows us the option to expand our Internet capacity as well as bring many more HD channel choices.

...Or to reclaim enough bandwidth for 10 SD or 2 HD channels. Sometime in the next 5-20 months, you'll need a box for ALL channels, just like DirecTV, DISH, and most cable companies.
