Default what's up with old tvs and cable channels?

got an old..... Sony Trinitron. electronic tuning, so it's not that
old, but mono. switched to CATV input, it gets (analog Comcast)
channels 2-40 perfectly, gets nothing from 41-99. Now that's just too
clean a break to be anything other than design, so does anybody know
what gives?


Your TV is too old. You will need a converter that will convert the upper
channels to a channel that the TV can be tuned to see. These converters are
starting to become very difficult to find. Many of these older TV sets have
long disappeared!


Televisions that old wouldn't register channel numbers above 13. He's
talking about 41 through 99.
