I don't know what their exact plans are but I suspect Comcast is just talking smack. They want all their subscribers--especially people like you who are paying $15/month for basic cable--to upgrade to their digital package (which has absolutely nothing to do with the big Feb. 2009 over-the-air digital conversion) because then they can charge $100/month.
Don't sweat it. They will probably continue to offer the same service you have now (and will continue to work on your TVs), while at the same time talking irrelevant crap about how the FCC has mandated the digital conversion in a FUD misdirect to get you to pay more. Don't believe the first 10 Comcast reps you talk to because they probably don't know what they're talking about (or are flat-out lying). IF your cable stops working next year (bet it won't), ONLY then look at digital.
