I have an analog TV and analog basic cable service. My cable provider continues to move channels to digital from analog. In their explanation letter they indicate that the channel can be seen with a TV equipped with a "QAM" tuner. I have also read that if the local network channels are broadcast in HDTV, they have to pass them through even on basic cable service. So, if I buy a new HDTV with a QAM tuner will I see other digital channels besides the ones they have moved? Will I get local channels in HD? Anybody have experience with the above situations?
I do not wish to pay for digital or HD cable services. I would assume that at some point they will covert all analog channels to digital on basic service because analog uses more bandwidth than digital.
