So part of this problem is not only may you have ot get a new TV but if you need a new cable box and your cable company doesn't offer an option to come to your home....what would a senior / disabled citizen have to do to get thier equipment upgraded?
If the cable companies are smart, they'll get this started well in advance of the actual changeover. Plus, I've never heard of a cable company that didn't service you at home. Even if such a thing exists...believe me, if these boxes need to be put in, someone will see the need for the service and perform it and make a profit.
