Run a cable from the DTA output to the B input of the A/B splitter. Run a cable from the A/B splitter output to the TV. Now what you have is a direct line from the wall to the TV via the A side which carries unscrambled HD signals. And you have all the other channels which need descrambling via the B side. Set the A/B switch to A and then use the search for channels function on the TV to find the available signals. Using the B side you will use channel 3 and tune using the Comcast remote tuner. Obviously you will need to manually change from A to B side as desired.
I will try that and see what happens.

Thanks.
