For standard (non-hd) cable, a box is not always required. Is calling your cable company out of the question?

Only if I want to sit on hold for hours at a time...

Anyway, I trust the replies in this thread much more than anyone at the cable company...

So thanks again to all the good info...

Just go with Dish. I've never seen a dish guy be an asshole. They setup everything for free.
