I've never heard of a cable system that does not offer an SD converter box with 480i analog V/L/R out (still far too many 21st century sets without HDMI still in use, and they don't want to lose customers to satellite), though a LOT of cable providers are going to 100% encrypted digital mode on their cables that go to the boxes.
TW is actually not correct about "flat" TVs and CRT sets - there are a few CRT sets that do have QAM tuners, and some older flat sets have only an analog tuner.
