    We used to get analog TV with an antenna but everyone says they can’t get any digital TV up here with an antenna. I haven’t tried it myself.

    Maybe this has been brought up before…but has anyone had any luck receiving any local channels thru the air via a digital antenna..? This would of course be free if there is reception. I don’t know how digital signals travel compared to the old analog…

    No problems here. Did you reboot the modem? I just read what I wrote. I should work at Comcast tech support! 🙂

    I just looked at a camera we have set up and it’s still live.

    Hi All, Our comcast died this last Saturday morning and hasn’t returned since. I reset the router with no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks for the info. Yes, ours was scrambled on the 18th also. I was going to post something yesterday but I was super busy. For now I am using my non-HD DTA. I understand they will provide an HD DTA for six months free and then it’s $10 a month. I’ll have to think about that. I’m tempted to get rid of the cable TV altogether and just watch streaming video from Netflix and Amazon. Problem is I still need Internet.

    Ours was not actually scrambled until the 18th either. But once that happened we had to use their DTAs. The HD-DTAs did work and we have local HD channels with Limited Basic. Had to find them in the 703-712 channel range, but they were there…

    Interesting. They are at least one day late as we watched limited basic TV today without any Comcast boxes or adapters. I guess I’ll see what happens tomorrow (Sept 18th). Thanks for posting the email.

    Follow-up regarding encryption of Limited Basic channels – I found on an old e-statement from Comcast that our area will have encryption turned on as of September 17. As of that day no TV channels for you unless you have a Comcast device connected!

    Could you pm me the email or copy and paste it here? Without personal information of course.

    I have installed a few systems.

    Once you learn how to do port forwarding and static ip setups it's not so bad.

    I find its harder to run wiring. My wife agrees so I will be putting 4 cameras. Will be nice to check driveway and have peace of mind.

    before the winter starts.

    We never received a letter from Comcast telling us they were going to encrypt the clear QAM local HD channels we had been getting all this time but we did just receive a "free" DTA (Digital Transport Adapter) [Standard Definition only] brought by UPS. Three hours of phone calls to Comcast later we found out they are encrypting all the local channels on Limited Basic soon (conflicting info on when – ether mid-September or mid-October ) and we got them to send us 3 free HD-DTAs that we will need to install on our TVs to get past their encryption. Free for two years then $1.99 ea every month after that…

    I just finished hooking up a security camera and will say that it was a chore because I ddon'ta understand network activity very well.  Bottom line is that it works ans i may even add some cameras down the line.

    Tonight I talked my wife into a set of outdoor camera security system.

    Especially  that graffiti picture and I want to keep an eye on the snow level.

    It's the only way to protect yourself.
