I am not aware of any cable system that allows direct hookup of digital
cable right to the back of the TV without first going thru a converter
box. It's certainly possible but I think the hangup is a lack of a
standard. So you're forced to run it thru the box first and the box
simply converts it to channel 3 or 4 if you have an analog TV.

I'll have to tell Charter that they are doing their signal wrong, cause I
can get channels till the cows come home with the cable going right into the
back of my TV's.

Yup. So far around here Carter uses "at the pole" block filters. If
you look up at the bottom of the connection "up there" you'll see one
or more colored plugs.
