I wonder what kind I would end up using, assuming my complex has a private cable system where they've been just getting the local broadcasts from analog tuners? If they were to decide not to spend the money to convert those to analog (I suppose digital signals are going to have to end up in the lines too for people that will eventually have digital TV's without analog capability) how do I make it so I can watch local channels or the rest of the lineup they have since my TV has only one input? Can I plug a cord in from the wall jack in to a box that will convert the digital and just pass through the rest that they have on the other analog channels, or how does that end up working?
