Another comcast digital tv question (Rant)

[CG]

Ok, I have a newer flat screen TV. We get all the channels up to 99 on our package. We have zero pay channels and no converter box. Cable straight to the back of the TV. The HD channels even come in in HD.

So when they do what ever that conversion is thats coming why will we lose channels? Im not understanding whats going to be different than we already have. Isnt this a digital signal we get now?

Comcast has been on our butts to get "The Box" ... I dont want "The Box". They called the other night, unfortunately Gail took the call and relented...Yeah send us the box thingy. I was thinking, fine, some little converter box I dont want...blah.

So it came yesterday and we opened it up. Damn its a big ol box we have to use to work the TV now with a bunch of remotes and little boxes for our other TV's. We have to install it and call them to activate it. I just feel like we've been hijacked into this thing. I hate having all this extra junk just to watch TV.

They say there are no extra charges (yet) I do not trust them at all. Im going to look into some other options for TV and high speed internet. My son has something from Verizon? He says its way faster than Comcast and he gets more TV channels for the price he used to pay for Comcast. ( I bet he has the dreaded box though LOL )
