Re: Picking up on-demand digital channels on Expanded Basic

Yes they are encrypted except for the basic package (Channels 2-27,95-99) are available in the 75-1 through 81-12 range).

A few things still come through like Movieplex, but even my Uncle with a basic subscription and a box for HBO gets that. I guess Movieplex is considered a basic channel (with a box or digital tuner).

Re: Picking up on-demand digital channels on Expanded Basic

What I don't understand is why in the world they would encrypt the basic channels and NOT encrypt VOD. There is hard core porn available on VOD and I get it in the clear on any set with a QAM tuner whenever anyone is watching. If I was a parent I would be very concerned. NExt time I'll have to see if my TV shows a rating.... if so, it could be set to not show it.

I just Emailed Comcast re: encrypting the basic channels. Let's see what they say. So far it has been 24 hours and nothing aside from the confirmation that they got the Email. I didn't mention encrypting VOD
