The deadline for requesting a free converter box is 10/16, so if you have not done so already, you probably want to call Cablevision. Of course, this does not make what they are doing right, and after a year you will probably have to pay for the box. I think more towns should file complaints with the PSC and make them investigate the legality.
Here's an article from the 10/4 Journal News on the topic:
Officials, users criticize Cablevision changes on government programming

Will Cablevision eventually do as FIOS does now and require a box for each receiver? This seems to be the trend.
I asked a Cablevision rep about this and he told me that they will still have analog available until 2012 (if you search Cablevision analog 2012 you will find some posts about this). However, I expect that they will increasingly remove analog channels and it will eventually shrink down to the "Broadcast Basic" channels that are in analog.
