TIVO and the digital TV age question

I have three series 2 Tivo's on a wireless network. I am still receiving analog cableTV and have noticed that some channels have moved to purely digital broadcast. I have several quesitons about Tivo and the digital TV age:
1) Will my Tivo's be compatible with digital cable TV broadcasts?
2) If not can I make them compatible with software upgrades?
3) If no to 1 and 2, what can I do to duplicate my setup for the digital TV age?
I bought all three Tivo for 120 bucks and with about 250 bucks in network adapters, cables, etc.. have had a wonderful wireless three room television experience for several years now. I hate to think it will now cost me a fortune to enter the digital TV age.

1) Yes, by using set top boxes ro tune digital channels. The recordings with be SD, however.
2) No software upgrade will turn a TiVo into a digital receiver.
3) Look into the series 3 HDTiVo.
