My cable tv company switched the signal to HDTV, so naturally my
tube TV doesn't pick up the signal. All I get is fuzz.

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.



Stuff a QAM tuner in your computer. Hapaugue cards are on Ebay for
about $23, and the work OK. You need an original install disk to
install WinTV7, or Windows Media Center. I've had one for about six
months, in a spare PC running Vista Basic & WinTV7.

I looked around and determined this is what I should get:

Thank all of you for your feedback.

You can try that, but it may not work. Your best bet is to get a box from your
cable company. Unless that box includes the capability to accept a cablecard
provided by your cable company, it may not work at all, and if it does, that
could end tomorrow when the cable company eliminates clear QAM signals.

IF you are not a real cable customer, your prospects are limited.
