I have no use for the SD or analog channels. They look like crap on
modern TV's. And I have no intention of paying extra for an unneeded
STB that does not even record when I have been using clear QAM for maybe
8-9 years or so happily with computers. All I want is the network
channels in a quality matching what they are broadcast. I don't think
Comcast has any sort of obligation to give them to me for free but my
limited basic subscription will either include them or I will no longer
purchase it.
And yes, I do know how to use an antenna for HD. But I seem to move for
job related reasons every 2-4 years and I'm getting tired of being
Johnny Appleseed leaving antennas at various rentals around the country.
