The answer to the above question is, of course, YES! Getting Digital television may not just be an upgrade, it can be a blessing. Take the channel options on basic cable and then triple them. Basic cable may offer the Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel, but since digital cable came into the picture, there is the Cartoon Network, Disney, Disney West, Sprout, Nickelodeon, and any other number of kid-friendly channels that can keep that little one still and quiet until dinner is ready. Not only that, but with Digital programming comes an entirely new option: On Demand. On Demand makes sure that if you need the big purple dinosaur to calm the crying fits, that can start at any time. Oh, and it’s free for most of the programs.

It isn’t just kids that benefit from more channel selections. The adults also will find that having more channel options is a pretty enjoyable thing. That’s before considering the other main option of digital television that will make everyone smile: the “Guide” button. Instead of flipping through all of the channels that come on the tube, it is now possible to call up the guide function that allows you to scroll through all of the viewing options available through digital television. And there are more options. Way more options. Give it a try.
