Cox Internet and TV

[Don in CT]

As part of the digital changeover, the cable companies were required to leave locals in the clear for their subscribers, so that a converter box was not required. There was movement to change that recently, but I haven't really followed what has become of it.

I don't think we will see in the clear much longer. Everyone will be encoding digital.

Cox has encrypted our locals in Las Vegas but they are still in the clear in Tulsa.

From what I have heard they are going to encrypt the CT market by the end of the year.

I wish the Las Vegas locals were in the clear. Its much harder to get an OTA signal there in our condo. I get great OTA coverage from attic antenna at house in Broken Arrow so I dont even have the cable connected to the tv for cox locals. I just us slingbox to get Tulsa locals from satellite receiver while in LV. Not going to pay Cox for lifeline out there. They get enough from me already for 2 internet accounts.
