Please forgive me for this naive question, but...can someone spell out for me what exactly is at stake with the 2009 discontinuation of analog? More specifically, as a single-tuner series 2 DVR owner, why does this affect me at all? I'm not getting my channels OTA...so...what else is really affected? I'm sure this has been answered ad nauseum, so sorry about that.
If you like indulging earnest (but less inclined to thoroughly combing the forums folks) fools like me, here's another question:
A dual-tuner S2 TiVo can only record to analog channels at once, or one digital and one analog--according to Amazon.com. What does that mean? I am dimly jumping to the conclusion that somehow the "basic" cable coming into my house is analog...then it goes through the box and is digital? Does that make sense? How does the Series 2 TiVo DVR record two channels at once, anyway? And why did the guy at Bob's Discount Stereo tell me that my cable company's talk of "digital" was just a gimmick anyway, and that oftentimes it was worse service?
For anyone who cares to indulge me, thanks!
