Almost all campgrounds with cable are putting out a signal to the post that can be used without a specific cable company's cable box. They are not going to provide cable boxes to every RV that comes in. Some campgrounds convert the digital cable or satellite signal that they get to analog. Some put through both analog and digital signals. When you scan with your analog to digital converter box for channels you will see channels as they are locked in labeled as either analog or digital. All will play on your analog TV though the converter box that you have.

Sorry, not arguing here, however you are totally wrong. At least with the older TV sets that many of us still have in our rvs.

Well, I have an analog TV with a digital to analog converter box (about $50 at Radio Shack)and it works just fine the way that I described, both with an antenna or a cable connected to it. You do need a digital to analog converter box but you don't need a box from the cable company unless the cable company is blocking the signal to force the use of one of their boxes. With a cable company you are only going to get the channels that are the major networks - no cable only channels. At campgrounds the digital to analog box connected to a d to a converter box should get everything that the campground is putting out on their cable.

Since you are the OP, your original question was about a "one box works with all cable companies" box and my answer to that was no - there is no such thing. If you are in a campground that has cable that requires a special box from the cable company then they are going to provide it - but many don't need this - and the signal should come through your digital to analog box which is the same digital tuner that a new digital flat screen has built in.
