We have six TV's. Two are newer high def. We use cable cards with them and get all the stations we want. The remaining 4 are older and plugged into cable TV outlets in the wall. All we can get on those TVs is channels up to 99. There are a few digital non-premium non-high def stations I would like to watch with higher numbers (like Bloomberg TV - which is 251 where I live).
If I get newer TVs (which I don't mind doing in my home office and kitchen) - will I be able to view these stations without a set top box (IOW - just hook up directly to the wall)? If I don't get newer TVs (I don't want to replace the TV on my patio - it's a cheap piece of garbage because it is subjected to weather extremes) - will a set top box enable me to view these stations on old TV's?
Note that I really hate set top boxes (one more piece of clutter) - but I think cable cards are basically dead now - and they never really existed in the smaller units I use in these viewing locations. So I guess I have to do something - I'm just not exactly sure what. If it makes any difference - my carrier is Comcast. Robyn
