Not directly, but I'm surprised that they haven't bumped you into basic
digital. They don't even have a basic analog only package listed
anymore. Also the analog channels will be cut off by 12/31/06 and unless
you have a digital tuner (QAM256 capable) you won't be watching the Rose
Bowl on 1/1/07. At least that's the propaganda that I've been given by
Charter. Supposedly that's part of all the recent changes.
