You will need to have a Comcast set top box or DTA (Digital TV Adaptor) on each TV. I recently logged in to my Comcast account and ordered 2 DTAs for my 2 TVs that don't have boxes. These were free and are being shipped to me.
Supposedly, when the conversion to all digital is complete, Comcast will be able to expand and enhance programming. Anybody out there in nonVillages-land already been through this conversion? Any noticeable improvements?
Yes, I could visit the local office or try to call them, but, thought perhaps someone on the forum might already have the answer. TIA.

Obviously do NOT know about The Villages Comcast timetable, but in Vermont Comcast began notifying all of us a year before they finally did it; then they took forever to send the convertor or whatever......in the interim, we decided to "lower our bills" ha ha......and go with DIRECT TV satellite dish on the house. After we did that, we got the Comcast converter and speaking on the phone with the rep, she told us that "Had we known your reception was so poor, etc. we would have sent out a man to service it".
We do LOVE Direct TV, however, our bills obviously went up as you have to "rent" the four DVR's??? Not sure what they are called. It depends on how many rooms you have t.v. in............also, after seeing the High Definition television on our not so old sets..........he decided to go out and buy four flat screen very large t.v.'s..........and the "package" monthly for Direct TV is much higher than Comcast who we thought was overcharging us..................not sure if you get Direct TV or DishTV in TheVillages, but one last note............although we love it, everytime we have a thunder storm which has been every other day this summer..........we lose our signal to the satellite...............something we never had a problem with while having Comcast..............I know this is "off topic" but just thought I'd ask in a roundabout way...............can you get satellite TV in The Villages.....??
