<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=665205217-25082008>Maybe not widescreen
"only" (you could tell your converbox to stretch the picture to fill, or zoom
perhaps, etc), but the signal will be a 16:9 signal. For cable, digital does
not mean 16:9, as digital cable channels are mostly 4:3, but HD does mean
16:9...i've yet to see an hd channel broadcast in 4:3.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=665205217-25082008>Since the locals
will all be going HD, will they still be sending out that 4:3 signal for the
cable providers?...that's my question.</SPAN></FONT></P>
