While Comcast continues to advertise that all digital is coming, in some areas it is already here. They sent letters out to all of their customers well in advance of the conversion. If you already had sets with cable boxes from Comcast you did not have to do anything when the conversion took place. Believe that was in August in some parts of TV. If you have tv's wthout cable boxes you could get up to 2 (DTA's) Digital Transport Adapters from them at no charge. Their installation was simple and they even included new remotes.

I know some folks upon receipt of the letters, left them at their mail stop in the trash without reading them as they thought they were just advertisements. To be fair, Comcast did send letters and have made multiple advertisements on TV informing the public of the changes and what they had to do. I believe that you can still visit the Comcast store in the Spruce Creek shopping plaza across from the Summerfield Wal-Mart on Hwy 27/441 and pick up your free DTA's.
