    QAM suprise on Comcast Elizabethtown/Columbia

    Yes, that's what I get - was watching transformers in HD on Saturday morning. It's nice to not need an antenna, and the on-demand finds are nice, but a pain to figure out which channels they might be on. It would be nice if I could integrate the tuners, and blend everything together rather...
