This company should be called "concast" not comcast,i have there expanded cable service and thay already deleted about four channels,it is up to your cable provider to carry the dtv channels after the feb.2009 deadline(thay don't have to carry these dtv channels if thay don't want to)but will do so for a little while so there customers don't cancel there cable service,as time goes by comcast will just keep deleting channels until you just cancel there cable service,comcast wants you to subscribe to there digital hd service so you will need there converter box(you will need one for each tv you have) or just buy a new digital tv,this is a win,win for ''concast'' because the digital hd service will cost you more and you will have to pay for extra converter boxes for your other tv's so comcast will make more money from everyone who uses there service.
You apparently know nothing about the dtv conversion. The only reason you will need a converter box after Feb 2009 is if you receive your TV over the air, ie rabbit ears. Cable and satellite companies will continue to down-convert those local channels on their cable systems. I believe they are required to until at least 2012, but i could be wrong on that date. Either way you wont need to change anything if you have cable/satellite.
