Default comcast new money plan?
Comcast is running notices telling us that soon they will "upgrade" to all digital and this may change our ability to receive stations. I presently have one digital box and the other 4 TVs are just coaxial cabled to the outlets. I don't get HD on them, but I get a fine picture, just like we all did before the HD revolution. Apparently once we are "upgraded" I will get nothing without a rented cable box on each TV. Am I correct that this is what is about to happen? Any techies out there know if there is a way around this increase of for a service I don't want? Can you buy a cable box rather than rent? I think not.
