<title>Comcast Cable Transition to Digital - Box Needed?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23304189</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello,
I have just the basic Cable (1-99) that includes, in addition to the over-the-air channels, ESPN, CNN, CNBC, FOX, E!, History, Discovery etc..My cable coming in from the wall just plugs straight into my TV....I noticed that in my area, Comcast has stated they will start getting rid of some of these channels until eventually we will be left with just the 1-29 channels which are only OTA, Gvt and Public Access and CBC channels....so it seems like the rest of the channels are going to Digital (CNN, ESPN, History etc.)?  

I have avoided getting the full Digital TV from Comcast all this time (where you need that digital box and get a host of Digital channels, up to 500 or so, etc.)...but I have not gotten that because it is too expensive, and I really don't need more than what I have on 1-99 anyway....

So my question is:  Will I need to contact Comcast to get that box that is required to view the channels that I will lose?  Will they charge for this box?  Can one buy an equivalent box on the market to be able to view these channels that we lost because Comcast converted them to Digital?

Please help answer.

Thanks a bunch!]]></description>

<title>DVR to PC</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23290442</link>
<description><![CDATA[I remember hearing some people mention that it is possible to record shows recorded on a Comcast DVR to a PC using a firewire cable.

Problem is, none of my systems have firewire, is there any way I can do this through USB or any other type of connection? Or read the harddrive on a PC? I want to get some recorded episodes that I want to keep off of that thing without basically doing an analog copy over composite, yes composite, my equipment is old, it doesn't even support s-video.]]></description>

<title>[HD] Hollywood Premiere Movie Pass</title>

<description><![CDATA[Has anyone had a chance to try out this service when they signed up for a Triple Play, or is it still too new yet?  From what I read in the terms is that you get (4) "credit" cards totaling ($150) and they can be applied towards your bill...

<title>[HD] Comcast of Union: ~40 HD channels coming Nov 5th</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23234457</link>
<description><![CDATA[Our site is now up.

http://www.comcastworldofmore.com/union/

It's actually 38 HD channels being added since we already got HD PPV, NBA HD and NFLRD HD, and the HD On Demand link doesn't count. That would put us at 80 HD channels (42 currently). We would still have a decent amount of room though, so it looks like the second wave could be bigger.

Note: The limited basic HD channels (current ones that are moving and new ones being added) are going to be added on or about 10/28.

<title>Comcast Digital Transition in South Cobb, GA?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23244889</link>
<description><![CDATA[Several months ago I went through the typical "We don't know what's going on crap with Comcast".  The end result was that I was told Cobb County was rolling out "World of More" channels in 3 phases and I was in Phase 3 and that would be done in October.  

Now that October is nearing an end I just want to know if anyone else in Powder Springs (30127) has gotten any of the new HD channels or if you're still waiting like me.  I dread to have November roll around and have to call a Comcast rep again.  They really have no clue who should have it and who shouldn't. Last time it took them 6 reps and one tech visit to figure out i shouldn't have the new channels yet.  *Sadness*

Thanks]]></description>

<title>Comcast Guarantee</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23265902</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am curious about how Comcast's guarantee is viewed.  For those who do not know about this, it may not be active in your area yet.  

In the areas where it is active, it basically offers a $20 on time guarantee and a free premium service for 3 months for repeat trouble calls.  It also offers 30 day money back guarantee where you don't have to pay for any service excluding PPVs and Long Distance charges if you decide you are not satisfied with their service and cancel within 30 days of installation.

I would like to know whether or not this makes a difference in anyone's opinion on Comcast's customer service or in any way for that matter.  There is a tough crowd here, so I expect if there are satisfied customers here as a result of the guarantee the average customer will do well with it.  Try to be objective and honest in your reply.

Thanks for humoring me.   :)]]></description>

<title>Anyone open up a DTA</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23301866</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anybody cracked open one of the DTA's? I wonder if there could be a way to tap in and pick up an AV feed instead of relying on the RF. That could let you use a TV's built-in tuner for HD, and the DTA for others (depending on availability of ClearQAM).]]></description>
