I still wonder if DirecTV will still work for me even tho I have an old Hughes HIRD E1 receiver, and no "HD" channels.

I also wonder if Mississippi's own Bailey Cable - which my Aunt has - is on track with HD.

'course, i also, wonder if this whole thing is like the Y2K scare.

It's nothing like the Y2K scare. They are turning off the analog broadcast signal. It's been planned for years now, and after being postponed a couple times, they are serious about it this time.

You have cable. You will be fine. Nothing changes for you.

I got the Zenith dtt900 at Circuit City. It included both RCA and RF cables (some others don't). And it has worked well for us.

There were big stacks of them when I got mine in July.
