The analog/digital changeover that effected how TV signals are received referred to over the air broadcasting. If you have an older, purely analog television, you will need a converter box to receive and process the signal from your rig's antenna. Cable TV is different and the signals can be received and processed by all current televisions, whether that signal is an analog or a digital signal. What you won't find a lot of in RV park cable systems are HD signals, so your television will be receiving and displaying in SD. Many major cable companies are now changing over to scrambled digital signals, so converter boxes from the cable company may become necessary at some parks. Our parks use a private cable TV system, we buy the feeds from Directv and have our own combiner, amplifier and headend units. We are only able to broadcast SD, but we will not need to provide individual converter boxes to each rig. Just set your television mode to cable, be sure you are connected to the cable feed and run channel search, it will find the channels and you will be good to go.
