    Comcast to start encrypting basic cable 'over the coming months'

    This AM my local news that I usually wake up to shows "scrambled". :confused: I guess it's time to go antenna shopping.

    Comcast to start encrypting basic cable 'over the coming months'

    Just got my "Digital Transport Adapter Self-Installation Kit" via UPS. Modulates to channel 3 or 4. Yippee! Only reason I had lifeline was for the HD networks via clear QAM. And easy delivery to multiple TV's. No way I'm paying $14 a month for SD that every TV needs a box for. Too bad DISH...

    Comcast channels with basic service

    I get 6 HD networks and several digital SD ones with my bare minimum ($7 a month) Comcast basic, and no cablebox. Sometimes their location gets shuffled around so a rescan is necessary to find them again. However your post says you tried a rescan with no luck. Are you receiving ANY digital...

    Comcast Hidden channels

    I know this post is old, but you may be able to get a breakdown of what's available via unscrambled QAM by popping your zipcode in at silicondust.

    Comcats - Digital Starter Without Cable Box

    Are you sure you're not receiving SAP on those channels. Try pressing the SAP button on your TV's remote a few times. My locals come through in HD just fine via Comcast & my tv's QAM tuner.

    Comcast channel lineups?

    If you're only looking for the locals, and your TV has a QAM tuner, all you need is the cheapest basic cable they offer. In my area (Comcast) it costs under $7 a month. I get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, and CW in HD along with several SD digital channels. Works great as a complement to DISH. Pop...

    Anyone got any good deals through Comcast?

    Comcast had a full page ad in the Boston Herald offering Digital Starter, HD DVR, and HBO for $39.95 a month (for 1 year). They ran a similar ad on TV awhile ago. I've got a thread here somewhere when I called and tried to get the deal. Of course the CSR knew nothing about it. I was tempted to...

    Comcast - $39.95mo for digital,HBO, HD, DVR?

    I called twice and neither CSR would give me HD with the deal - both said it would be $5 extra. I know what the ad said - they didn't seem to. I got pissed and didn't order, and now the deal has expired. If anyone sees the ad running again, I'd appreciate a heads up!

    Comcast - $39.95mo for digital,HBO, HD, DVR?

    Pretty sure I saw a Comcast Ad bashing DBS and offering $39.95 mo. for the above services. Price is for a year of service, and then goes up to regular. I believe you need to be a satellite customer to get the offer. Sounds like a perfect deal for me while DISH drags their feet on NESN-HD. If...

    QAM Tuner on new TV?

    I'm with Scott!;) Drives my wife crazy though when they FF/REW or even worse, STOP the VOD. To the OP, Comcast here used to give me the Music Choice channels via unscrambled QAM. Several months ago they started scrambling them however. I do get: 6 local HD networks SD versions of DIY, GAC...
