I just checked my television to make sure the game will show well, it is a 70 inch sharp you folks helped me choose a while back.
I just discovered that I need some sort of cable digital box in order to watch Fox in digital.
I cannot get a cable box, TW is closed.
I found this place and it seems as though I can stream it into the TV but I cannot tell whether it is digital.

any help would be terrific. Or ideas.

Walmart for antenna ... local Fox station.
I am not sure there is one, I will look.
I thought fox was cable only???
Bumping for good luck. Hope you get the help you need. Maybe have such great food that even the test pattern will be exciting to watch for three hours? ;)
Try unplugging EVERYTHING completely for a minute or two and then plug it back in. A reset like that is always the first thing to try.
I had a similar issue last night with Dish Network. Reset worked like a charm. If that doesn’t help, call TW.
Good luck.
What kind of input goes into your TV from TW now to your SHARP? Is it just a RF coax input or an output from a TW box? How exactly did you determine that you need some kind of digital box to see the FOX HD broadcast?
The 40/60 mile antennas pick up all kinds of stuff and in HD.
You could also call up and do a “RESET” of your cable box.
G/l.
Don’t worry about it. The Super Bowl is nothing more than another political event anyway. Watch something worthwhile.
We were able to get the Fox.go through Roku. If you buy a digital antannae, buy the more powerful one.
It is Coax I talked to the tech support at time warner. I get some digital but they changed things I guess so that in order to get more in digital one needs to rent or borrow a digital box. I thought since I get some in digital that was all they had in digital.
I never watch TW I watch Netflix.
I don’t have a cable box
There is a cable box in the TV of a sorts
but I don’t have an antenna?
Yes WalMart sells a dandy for about 49. That is unless you got a Tunerless model. In that case you’ll need to get a tuner and an HD Antenna.
Half time show lasts how long?
Folks should shut their sets off, bark for refreshments then turn them back on when the game resumes.
Is that in the back there, with the tubes and stuff?
The local station is 30 miles away
Don’t worry about the digitalness, analog is dead, the only way your TV is showing anything analog is if you’re watching a VHS. As for the box unless you’re in a Fox broadcast deadzone you don’t need a box, you probably need an antenna.
Just get the 40/60 mile antenna. I pick up about 20 stations from it - some I’d never heard of - and in HD.
It’s also free and legal.
They cost about 20 bucks.
