jeffro Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Been using a streaming device the last few years so never really had a reason to purchase a cable subscription. Been on internet only for probably 4 years now. I recently moved into an apartment and just for shits hooked my tv up straight to the jack on the wall. To my surprise im getting like 70 channels however only about 10 of them are digital. Those analog channels look pretty shitty on a 60" tv. Is there something i can put between the jack and the TV that would convert those analog channels into digital? If i were to find a used cable box would that do anything?

unfunnyryan Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 box wont do anything they'll probably send someone out soon to put a filter on the line that'll get rid of your basic tv. previous tenants probably paid for TV, so no filter.

JaronsToy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Some places include basic cable for free to everyone in the building to get a exclusive and they make money off of people calling and upgrading the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
