They are advertising the XFINITY commercial on TV but it does not say much. I cannot seem to get a real date out of anyone at Comcast. They cannot even tell me when the letter will be sent.

I really hate to dumb down my TVs too far ahead of time. Sure the picture is better and I get more channels but now I sometimes need two remotes to do the work of one.

I guess time will tell.
Zman - the new remotes that you get with the little digital box operates your TV also. (after programming it) Of course if you have a VCR or something like that hooked up, you'll need a remote for that.
