In New Orleans we have Cox cable. About a year ago they stopped all digital and analog cable that flat screen TV's could receive/decode.
They issued the dreaded "mini-box" that has an analog RF out (channel 3 or 4) to feed older TV's and HDMI for newer ones. No composite or left/right audio. I have installed many of these and out of the box failure is high (and frustrating)!
From what I have learned they have two of the boxes, made by different manufacturers.
So far, I have a Funai (Emerson) 32 inch LCD that has the most useful tuner yet! It allows direct access and when a working channel is entered, it shows it, gives a picture then remaps the number.
When there were both analog and digital OTA TV's with digital (ATSC) tuners would get both. OTA boxes only get digital.
