They have been advertising for a long time "If you haveComcast cable, you

need to do a thing". Turns out to be a lie. Here in Seattle, only channels
below
29 will be available without a settop box. Exact date unknown for the change.

Will un-encrypted "QAM" channels go next?


They have a promotion where you get one digital box for the same
price as the expanded basic. I agree if you have lots of TV type
stuff (DVR,DVD-R,VCR) you need more boxes. Then satellite really
starts looking good.


Don't you have to have extra boxes with satellite also?

I have multiple tuner cards in my PC, plus a few TVs.

Anyone have any expertise on controlling more than one settop boxes from a PC
for BeyondTV recordings?
