I currently have Comcast service and I use 2 analog and 2 QAM tuners to record all of my shows. If Comcast gets rid of basic analog service and/or unencrypted QAM, I'll probably switch to satellite and OTA. There is no way that I'm going to pay extra $ for converter box to increase Comcast's revenue. At that point, my internet service would probably be cheaper if I switched to Fios. More loss for Comcast.

It any event if you read whats posted youll notice the analogs are staying for the next few years at least. -- CableTechs.org/"Horrible People with Integrity"

In comparison to NO BOX AT ALL for your cable ready sets.. or 5.00 a month to lease a box if you want one? Economics 101. Return on investment. -- CableTechs.org/"Horrible People with Integrity"

MisterMarcus join:2001-11-10 San Diego, CA ·RoadRunner Cable	To me it can cut both ways. I can: 1: Buy an OTA set up with a one-time fee to get those channels that are broadcast which likely will not include the shows I care about - but hey, I'm saving money!! 2: Lease with DirecTV and end up paying month over month for shows that I know I like now, but may not always. In one case it's a one-time expense that you may regret later. In the other it's a recurrent expense that is exorbitant, but ultimately can be ceased. Whether that recurrent expense over time exceeds the one-time is a moot point. It's all about choice. I chose the second option - because I don't want to be stuck with lackluster channels.
