Re: Digital Transport Adapter Unboxing PhotosI am confused how DTAs will affect me. I am a college student on a college campus living in the dorms. Currently we get extended basic (with locals in HD cia QAM) on the dorms. We cannot order cable in the dorms and get digital/HD boxes. If Comcast were to migrate most channels to digital, would I be out of luck and still need a DTA even though my TV has a QAM tuner or would I be able to pick up the channels using my TV's QAM tuner? Any help clearing this up is appreciated. |

I think you have nothing to worry about. The school likely would negotiate some kind of deal where just within campus, they keep analog cable. It's probably not a wise idea for a college campus to have to introduce DTAs, risk them getting damaged, etc etc. They would possibly have to distribute them with room keys, or bolt them to the wall, or something. |
