I just wanted to let everyone know that Comcast is not at the top of my most-hated list anymore. I was finally able to resolve the issue of not being able to activate the digital boxes, but I had to make a trip to their office (with the boxes) and wait for an hour in that claustrophobic little room for it to happen.

Did you know that you only have a short time after receiving the boxes to activate them? It's too bad the Comcast person I talked to in January (or February or March or April...) didn't let me know. I've been trying to activate them ever since, but I only have 450 minutes/month on my cell phone plan, so I kept running out of minutes & would have to wait until the next month & start all over again. We received the boxes before Christmas, tucked them away, and waited until we were back in The Villages to try to activate them. Bad mistake.

You'll be glad to know that we now have more than 6 channels in the bedrooms. It only took 7 months. The lesson: Activate your digital boxes as soon as you receive them.
