Question: The second line, does this mean your regular TV without a box can
access 1-99?  I have TWC without digital (even tho it's free with box
rental, just regular analog has been fine my whole life, and I get sports in
HD with my TV tuner except ESPN Monday Night, which I can live with) so can
get 3-76 or w/e it is plus the unencrypted HD channels (fox/cbs/cw/etc).  So
just curious if the box is really "required" for all content, or just
digital content.
