Time will tell......
I'm not sure about that. I'm thinking the worst would be you might need to stick a CableCard in.

I believe federal law is: you can't scramble an HD local content station on cable if HD is being broadcast (over the air) in your area. And Orlando is our area. Stations like Discovery-HD are another matter.

Channels 6.1, 9.1 and 2.1 ARE digital channels. Been there for years. Comcast makes you believe you have to pay for ALL HD - and that's not true.

We'll see in a few months.
