If you have cable that uses a cable box, there is no need for you  to
run out to get a converter. You're very correct in that the  cable
company will be converting the signals for you. (I honestly  don't
know how it works for folks whose cable doesn't require the use  of a
box, but even my parents in KS can't get that kind of cable  anymore,
not that they're in any place particularly  rural.)

I live in a small township within the city of Cincinnati, OH  and I have 
cable but do not have a box. My cable is literally that; a  cable coming in from 
outside that runs, in my case, into the VCR. I am not  willing to bite the 
expense to upgrade to digital cable which requires the  box. According to Time 
Warner I will receive a digital signal through the  cable once the conversion 
takes place next year despite the fact that I  don't have digital cable. I want 
to believe this, but I have my doubts, so  it's a wait and see situation. But I 
have it covered because I bought a  digital television back in December. They 
brought them in for the holidays  where I work and gave employees a discount, 
so I got it for a very good  price. I put the analog only television back in 
the bedroom with the DVD  player hooked into it. I don't think I will ever 
understand the  analog/digital thing. I'm too old to deal with these kinds of 
changes. But  one way or the other I have it covered.
