My cable tv company switched the signal to HDTV, so naturally my

I have found not one converter that switches HDTV back down to
analog. All
the ones on the market are for antennas only. They try to dupe you
that it
converts a coaxial cable HDTV signal from the cable company to
analog, but
none of them do that.

It's like taking an upgrade from the past and downgrading it to the
past again. Nobody is making such junk. Prove me wrong, but I
have found nothing.

The only solution I have in sight is to buy an HD TV for hundreds of
dollars.

I've been checkmated.

Where were you when the govt gave away free decoders?

You are looking for QAM to NTSC capability.

ClearQAM more specifically. I get well over 50 channels of unscrambled
digital on my "Broadcast Basic" from TWC.

Comcast has eliminated clear QAM from their cable service here. Legally, they no
longer have to offer even local channels unencripted.

The OP needs the free box from his cable company to see the signals on his
analog TV. HE does not want an HDTV box. A DTA would get him the basic channels.


DTV converters are usually just for over the air TV. They cannon decode cable
signals.
