Do I need a new digital television to receive digital programming?

Grande Communications - FAQs ; How-Tos
Fortunately, with our digital receiver, you will not need a new television. Existing TVs today are all "analog" sets. This means they can receive "analog" TV signals either via an antenna or the cable network. Digital Cable is a digital TV service, but uses the digital receiver to convert the digital signal to analog for viewing on a conventional TV set. Grande will continue to carry digital signals using the digital receiver to convert those signals viewed on your existing television.
