Re: cheap cable card tuner compatible with comcast? None of this will matter soon anyway.
They just got approval from FCC to encrypt ALL digital TV and are in the process of doing so.
My area you can't use your own equipment because it can't decrypt the darn signal... And I am not talking about digital I am talking about actual encryption... |

Starting about two years ago, I could no longer view some Limited Basic channels using a TV with a QAM tuner. The signals were not encrypted and Comcast continued to claim that a TV with a QAM tuner will receive Limited Basic channels without a digital device. Comcast had changed the digital TV signal configuration to one where for some TV tuner channel numbers there were two programs that could be validly tuned to. |

Which has nothing to do with the subject of this thread, which is about CableCard tuners. These tuners can decrypt all the channels you are authorized for. No one was talking about clear QAM channels here.
So yes, the subject does matter - CableCards aren't going anywhere for a long time and allow you to get the full range of channels, encrypted or not. |
