   Is cable tv to go digital as well?

     An electronics tech said that my mom's old VCR will eventually no   
   longer work to timer-record her favorite shows while she's gone, because   
   the cable service provider will begin to send their signal in digital   
   format instead of the analog signal it currently provides.   
     I thought the analog-to-digital conversion only applied to   
   over-the-air broadcasts (to rooftop antennas, etc).   
     So, is this true?
