<br></blockquote></div><br>Is there anything we can do? I tried calling Comcast, but the morons who answer the phone have no idea what I am talking about. Are we in such a minority that it doesn't matter that we want our QAM? I wonder if FiOS has better QAM support? I could dump Comcast for FiOS.<br>
<br>As of Feb 2009, I heard that Cox Cable (Fairfax, VA) is gonna continue analog service to its customers "as a courrtesy." Does anyone know if Comcast is planning something similar? Having crappy analog SD is better than nothing, especially since I have 2 analog tuners in addition to the HDHR.<br>
