I've received some letters from Comcast lately, explaining that they were
no longer going to be broadcasting any analog channels over the wire and
clients would need cable boxes (DTA's) to tune in channels. I (foolishly)
believed that they were going to leave the digital ClearQAM channels alone

They sent out digital boxes a while back. I magically got one two weeks ago
unprompted by me. So I guess that's their answer.

This most likely comes from the retransmission consent contracts with the
ota providers. Comcast probably now pays the ota providers for
retransmission but stated they are shutting down the unencrypted feed. I
would research things outside of Comcast with this situation as they may
not be the evil
Yeah, I got one of the DTA boxes, too, but when you have one of their
lesser cable packages, they only give you the crappy DTA that outputs 480i
over coax, no HD and no HDMI.
If they had sent me an HD DVR, I wouldn't be so upset, but my ability to
view and record HD programs has just gone away
Your best bet for those locals is an antenna, which has no recurring cost.
If you can't stomach the thought of an antenna, Comcast has Digital
Terminal Adatapters (DTA) available, including an HD version with HDMI out
for a nominal fee.
I was hit with this at my office this week and we opted to go
We installed an antenna at our office in Nashville, but we're having a
problem picking up the local ABC, though we can get the other local
channels.
At home, I live in Smyrna, and I'm just a little too far out to get good
reception on all channels

Good suggestion. Did that. Highly recommend that site to anyone thinking
about using an antenna.

We have a dual input tuner at Watkins which, with the exception of the
local ABC station, works perfectly. We reboot the iMac in our theater into
Win7 and use Media Center. (Imagine the joy of watching daytime soap
operas on a 26' screen!).
I have a similar unit at home, using Elgato EyeTV softw

This reads like they're providing a free HDTV adapter, instead of just a SDTV
box, but only upon request:

Gibson would be a good person to comment on this.
AFAIK, yes. Comcast was planning on taking away the analog stuff
several years ago. They ran an ad campaign to have people with analog
sets to buy (or be furnished) converter boxes (they used to be available
at K Mart, Walmart and lots of other p
Replace comcast with FCC discontinuing ota analog. There is such
misinformation on whether it's the cable company or the many other
companies that the cable company is aggregating and delivering to you are

Good to know they are still broadcasting. :)
Antennaweb says 19 miles to my house, blue (medium directional antenna with
