Either analog or digital, the exterior boxes serve the same purpose. It's the demarcation point between your property and any service provider...not just Cox. I don't know if the box (Network Interface Unit (NIU)) must be physically attached to your house but it must follow electrical codes for grounding, protection, shielding, surges, etc.

Thanks Bruce. Wish it didn't need to be such a large box to make one connection and a ground wire. It made me laugh to open it up and see that's all that's inside of them anymore.
