Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

That's a simple one. Dump Comcast and get Dish Network. More channels,
less $, less BS.

Exactly, if you need to get a bunch of boxes might as well get them from
a satellite provider and pay less. Remember it wasn't that long ago that
the cable companies touted that you didn't need a box like those
satellite companies make you use?

When Comcast did that here, it was the tipping point for me. I figured
if I was going to have to have a box, they had eliminated the last
minor advantage they had over direcTV. The picture quality on DirecTV
is vastly superior, and I get a lot more channels fror less money.

I have the expanded basic. Bad enough they pulled channels off expanded
basic willy nilly and moved them to digital, but this nonsense is the final
straw for me too. The website basically says if you do nothing, you will
only have basic, which isn't a lot when you consider several of those
channels are Spanish speaking. I am going back to DirectTV which I had years
ago, but at that time no local channels, that is no longer an issue with
satellite, so good-bye Comcast! Overpriced and underserved.
