Well, I think Comcast may have taken a step backwards. I noticed tonight that all my clear QAM is gone, except the PPV preview channel!! I sure hope this is only temporary, but this is ridiculous. I had to rely on my one working HD-PVR to record the local programming.

I HATE COMCAST!!!

I don't think that's intentional. They are probably remapping carriers. What city do you live in?

Has anyone heard any news on this? Does anyone even know what cities they are planning to convert to all-digital networks this year?

What luck!

Take a look at this post from avsforum member in portland:

As I said, DTA's cannot do crypto. If Comcast turns your market all-digital and deploys DTA's in it, then you will be able to get at least the analog SD channel equivalents in unencrypted digital.
