Default Lost my comcast HD thru the wall

I've been getting comcast HD thru the wall without any adapter for many years. Now it seems to be gone. Did Comcast quit broadcasting HD unscrambled thru the wall. I thought that they legally had to provide HD for all local stations. Anybody else have this problem?o

In all fairness I bet they may not be enamored by HD through the wall people

Same situation for me, splitter plus A/B switch as described on Comcast's own website for reception of HD directly thru the wall
Connect a Standard Definition Digital Transport Adapter to an HDTV


I both did online chat and phone with 4 different agents and all tell me there has absolutely been no change in our service and that I should still be receiving HD via the splitter. Just another example of Comcast having no idea what Comcast is doing. I did however not enjoy the chat agent attempting to tell me I was stealing HD as I did not subscribe to HD service, until I sent her to Comcast's own instructions on how to do it. She did not apologize, just moved on to not help me.

I only use Comcast for INTERNET, DirecTv for Television. I do not see why anyone of them should charge extra for HD nowadays. HD is here and soon to become obsolete with 4K. Told DirecTv that, they did not care. At least DirecTv has HD on same numbers.

are you getting HD for the same price as digital through Comcast? I'm paying a wallet full through Century Link!
