> I had comcast before but now i don't, don't use a converter box and somehow I was getting cinemax and other channels on the tv
Comcast was providing Cinemax and many other channels as part of your paid services and you will not receive these unless you are a subscriber. There is a good selection of free broadcast channels unless you live outside city areas. If you do, you will then need an external antenna and probably an amplifier to get more distant signals. Auto programming will not find the channels you were receiving from Comcast so there will be only accidental channel duplication; for example, if your former channel 10 was NBC, it may be channel 7 when receiving signal from an antenna.
There are essentially no more 'Analog' stations still broadcasting, they are now all 'Digital.' The abbreviations 'Std' refers to the aspect ratio (H/W) of the picture area and 'Hrc' and 'Irc' the available resolution or how many pixels and lines on the screen.

We have a 22" samsung

Hello idmcintyre,
Don't worry, all you need to do is get a digital converter box. You can get one at most electronic stores, especially the ones that sell TV's. Remember that you still need your antenna. Your antenna needs to hook up to the converter box, and then the converter box needs to be connected to your TV. The converter box just changes the signal. I hope this helps, give me a feedback if it doesn't. Good luck.

We have a Sharp 25J-M100 and we cannot turn off the Closed Caption. We hit menu on our Sharp Remote Control and go down to Closed Caption and make sure it is off. The words never go off of the screen. Our...

If the captions are turned off on your TV, they have to be coming from your cable box. The TV is just displaying what it's getting. Check your cable box menu and make sure captions are turned off there. Cable boxes, especially on digital systems, can prevent the TV's caption decoder from operating properly. So they need to be able to provide captioning, and I suspect you've turned it on somehow. Comcast should be able to tell you how to turn off captions if you can't figure out the menus.

Is it digital? will I need a converter box?

The conversion to digital affects off air reception. Since you have Comcast analog cable, you will not be affected until Comcast decides to discontinue analog cable, which is not likely any time soon.
When that day comes, your old VCR will probably grace a landfill anyhow, and you will need a converter box from Comcast.

Vcr hooked to tv and converter box. Will not record digital chann

The vcr has to be set to channel 3 or 4. The converter box has to set to the channel you want to record the show from and left on during the time that the vcr is recording or you will get no recordings.
