Comcast scrambled ALL remaining channels today as both my sets without boxes that got basic network channels in high definition are now shut down.

Wahhhh!!! Tom...you are right. My QAM TV in the office with direct coax cable hookup (no DTA or box) no longer works. I used to get all the major networks in HD as well as about 20+ other stations. I refuse to rent another DTA for a seldom used TV. I'll just move an existing DTA to wherever it is needed. And then, I lose the HD quality. I read that Comcast has HD DTA boxes in some areas, but, not here.



Comcast, the company you love to hate.... now they have taken away a service and no doubt costs will continue to rise. One of these days, I'm going to ditch them.



So, not to stray too far off topic...is there an inexpensive, simple solution to recover these lost/scrambled channels using an antenna on just one TV?
