Digital Adapter

I just got comcast and learned the hard way that I need a box for every TV. The digital adapters are $1.99 each a month. I have two brand new digital adapters I got from wowway that I never used. Is there away I can use them with comcast?

No. Those are most likely for Over the Air broadcasts.

Your choices are get tv's with Digital QAM tuners and see what is still broacast in the clear in your area, or rent the boxes.

Actually they're probably from when the OP had service from the WOW Cable overbuilder in his area...& NO, CC definitely will NOT activate those!
Frankly, I'm surprised WOW did NOT want those back...

You should also mention that eventually in the near future, QAM tuners will most likely be TOTALLY useless on CC, when they encrypt the limited basic tier; why give the OP future false expectations...

All of this info can be easily found searching this forum. No false hope was promised, as I said still available, meaning it may not always be that way.
