the company I work for has decided to provide the signals that "analog" 
tuners receive on their system until 2012 (?, I was at the meeting..?)

The H 150, 250, 350, & 500 will continue to work in those environments. 
As a cable company, we DO offer some of the HD channels on our system on 
the "higher" channels, but you need HDTV to view.

At some point, offering the SD channels in the analog range will become 
limiting due to the amount of spectrum each analog channel needs in the 
cable system. Our company has decided to support OLD TV's for quite a 
period. I don't know what Cox has determined for there system. 
Eventually, these "wide" offerings will have to go away in order to 
provide additional channels in the digital format.

Apologies for the lame interpretation of the specifics.

I would assume that Cox has offered some kind of stance on how long 
they'll be offering analog signals on there system??
