In regions where Comcast has introduced Digital Terminal Adapters (DTA's), you can only receive Standard Def, local channels via direct COAX connection. They have eliminated clear QAM channels (digital, expanded programming).
To receive HD programming, Comcast charges about $7 per HD set top box. So if you want 3 HDTV's receiving HD programming, prepare to pay up.
In my case, I have a Tivo HD with a cable card instead of a Comcast HD-DVR. I pay $2 for the cable card only. Tivo + lifetime sub is a tradeoff vs renting the Comcast DVR @ $20 additional a month. I also pay $7 for an HD box to my 2nd HDTV.
