Has anyone heard anything about the changes that will happen in January when Comcast takes over. I live in Illinois and was curious and would love some new hd.

NOT a peep - &, I wouldn't hold out for MORE HD. You'll be lucky to keep what you already have, if Comcast ends up removing HD Net & HD Movies, as they did on all the other systems they took over... ;)

The best I am hoping for is an expansion of Clear QAM SDTV signals, perhaps simulcasting some/all of the extended basic lineup. That is the one thing I would like Comcast to do.
