I'm a TV luddite and need some guidance here.

Shaw, for reasons unexplained, sent me a digital terminal and I think a three month free trial. This isn't an HD terminal, just digital cable.

I have two HDTV's and an analog TV tuner in my Mac that I use to PVR shows.

So here's my questions:

1. If I use this digital terminal, do I lose access to the analog cable signal on the other devices?

2. If I KEPT the digital terminal hooked up, would my cable bill be like $62 for digital + the $60-whatever I'm paying for analog?

3. Is non-HD digital any better than regular analog? I don't need pay-per-view or on-demand, I have an AppleTV for that.

Bear in mind, I and my family are content with analog cable - it's all we really need, and I'm not interested in paying significantly more, particularly if its not going to gain me much.

Thanks!
