RCN Cable

I pay for basic cable, no cable box. But I don't use rabbit ears and now I have no channels whatsoever. Does anyone know what is going on? I thought that the only people affected by the switch to digital in February were people who did not get their tv signal through a cable already.

Yeah, I did figure that, but I wasn't quite sure why the two changes happened simultaneously. I honestly wouldn't have expected the industry to be together enough to say, "hey, we're changing this one standard, so we might as well change this other one too while we're at it, that way people won't have to change their equipment twice." Which is what seems to be what actually happened.
