Carol responds:

I don't know about Lee, but I don't know what you mean by "tiers." (By
"Moterola," do you mean "Motorola"?)

In my case, I subscribe to Comcast Basic Cable and don't want any
extra channels. Sixty is more than enough for someone who grew up with
five or six! I have a cable box, so I'm assuming that I don't need a
cable box even though I have an analog TV (which is odd since I bought
in new in 2007!).

Anyway, I'm assuming that I don't need to do anything and that there's
no advantage to me in buying a converter box. (Ditto for Lee if she
already has a cable box rather than cable directly connected to the TV.)
