If you have an older analog television and your school cable system is digital, your television cannot receive the signal without use of a digital-to-analog converter box.
Campus Televideo Apogee has tested and recommends Technicolor DCI 401 because it is a “100% compatible” model. All standard definition and high definition channels will pass through the converter box and display on an analog television.
