No, they won't give you a date. Depends on the region. Probably when 90+% have converted, then they'll switch over. On that day 10% of their customer base will call and complain "my TV service is out". They want to minimize that call volume, so when 90-95% of the customers are ready, they'll switch because most of the ones that ignore the warning will get upset and drop Comcast mainly because they can't get through to Customer Service. In fact I'll bet Comcast calls those lax customers on the phone and talk to them personally before it actually happens. The switch will be done slowly over the entire US, region by region probably starting in the north and working south to where the "slower people live". Direct TV and Dish Network will be ready to pounce on Comcast customers on that day and Comcast knows it. I'm glad we have choices and that should keep fees low but ALL the TV providers keep raising their fees every year and a lot more than the CPI.
You know that FREE digital set top box and FREE digital adapters for two other sets plus all those FREE movies they offer now? - They won't be free forever!
Once the analog signal is removed entirely, there'll be a lot more bandwidth for lots more stations (for an added fee of course).
