I don't think it's technically the same as cable though, doesn't cable need some kind of physical connection rather than just a box? I may be wrong. Digital TV is TV that's broadcast (and received) digitally. In order to receive digital telly, you need either a box to sit on top of your existing telly  or a TV with a digital receiver circuit built in. The latter are rare - I'm not sure if they exist.

Digital TV is TV that's broadcast (and received) digitally.

In order to receive digital telly, you need either a box to sit on top of your existing telly (cathode ray, plasma, LCD, PC-TV Tuner card, whatever), or a TV with a digital receiver circuit built in.

The latter are rare - I'm not sure if they exist.

But a digibox can be bought for about £60 or so, and allows the reception of around 30 "free" TV channels in the UK (you still have to pay a license!), and DAB radio stations using your existing aerial.

Or you can subscribe to Sky for £20-£40 a month and get the same 30 channels, a dish on your roof and a whole load of tosh 

Cable TV is the same as Sky, but you get it via a cable.

Welcome to the forums Snow Dawg!!!!!!!!!!!

TECHNICAL QUESTION:

can any of you get the ASTRA satellite reception?

It distributes SKY, CANAL PLUS, PREMIERE etc? in EUROPE.

goose wrote: It means digital TV as in digital reception, not plasma etc. Mind you, it's hardly worth getting a decent TV in the US - unless you want to watch thirty minutes of adverts every hour in better quality . Seriously, any US channel that I've seen in the UK is utterly horrible. Some of ours aren't all that much better of late, apart from the good old trustworthy BBC 1,2,3 and 4!

You mean digital cable? I have that. I thought you guys were speaking of plasma vs. tube.

I am still analog, cathode-ray tube T.V. *sigh*

I guess I just don't have $5,000 USD to sock away in a slightly better model of something I already had. If I had $5,000 just laying around, I'd buy a Les Paul or put all of the moola in a money market to get me more $. I know; I'm a greedy SOB.

i have sky+ used to have the old balck and orange cable box but then we through it out the window and got sky instead alot better.

*note* to all sky fans:

on sundays about mid day on one of the radio channels i think it is arrow rock or something like that there is a prog rock programme just thought you might be interested!
