Why have you been told that you need a cable box to continue receiving some of your channels?
In North America and Europe there are moves in progress to stop analog television broadcasts in the coming year or two. 2010 is the cut off year for the US and 2012 for the UK. By that time, all television broadcasting will be digital.
Older televisions do not have digital receivers and so will not be able to use digital broadcasts directly. There are a number of ways to continue receiving television even with an analog television. While it is not true of all retailers, some are using the changeover to drive sales of specific products that will generate the most profit for them. It is important that you do the research to find out what options are available to you and which channels will be received on each platform.
Here are some options for receiving digital television:
Digital terrestrial broadcasts can be received by a digital television (all new televisions in 2010 have digital receivers fitted) or they can be received with a digital set top box (known in the UK as a Freeview box). The available channels may vary from one region to another so you will need to find out your local service. A set top box can be bought for £20 in the UK and $30 or so in US stores.
Satellite receivers can be used (Direct TV among others in the US and Sky in the UK) Most packages require a subscription but there are free channels on satellite platforms. In the UK, Freesat is a publicly funded platform that offers subscription free services including HD channels.
The last option is cable. Virgin has most of the UK market for cable and there are numerous cable providers in America. Each has its own package of channels with a wide variety of prices.
The choice of platform and vendor is down to price and channel requirements but there is absolutely no requirement to have cable to continue receiving television broadcasts.
What else can I help you with?

No they have to offer the local channels along with their basic cable package. You otherwise don't need cable and buy an anteena instead for the local channels.

Also, make sure the cable plug is secure.
