If Comcast changes it, that's their decision and has NOTHING to do with the over-the-air digital transition.
Comcast's only obligation is to carry the OTA channels either in analog format (as they are doing now for you), or to provide you with cable boxes to receive the OTA channels.
The converter boxes are only useful to convert the digital over-the-air transmissions to an analog format for older TV's. If you only have cable service and don't have or plan to get an antenna, the converter box will be useless to you.
