[Discuss] Comcast gets rid of the remaining analog channels

[tmetro-blu at vl.com (Tom Metro)]

I received a letter this past week that Comcast is getting rid of the
remaining analog channels on their Newton/Needham system (other towns
likely to do likewise). After their "digital conversion" a while back
they continued to transmit the "basic" channels (largely local
broadcast) in analog, but by March 13 will be strictly digital.

If I recall correctly these same channels were the few you could receive
unencrypted with a digital tuner. I'm not sure if that will remain the case.

So if you haven't already wired DTAs up to your DVR with analog tuners,
or upgraded to new CableCARD tuners, you've got about 2 months to upgrade.
