You'll end up with 62 digital channels with all the major networks in high definition for free.

Call me if you have any questions

I both did online chat and phone with 4 different agents and all tell me there has absolutely been no change in our service and that I should still be receiving HD via the splitter. Just another example of Comcast having no idea what Comcast is doing. I did however not enjoy the chat agent attempting to tell me I was stealing HD as I did not subscribe to HD service, until I sent her to Comcast's own instructions on how to do it. She did not apologize, just moved on to not help me.

That is what I thought but this post (Quote 2) from near the top says otherwise.

It has the cable out of the wall into a DTA box into a splitter and into the TV. I still do not understand the splitter part.

In fact, you even said it worked. (Quote 3).

That is why I am confused.
