I read the following Comcast statement today at the delegates meeting regarding the digital TV conversion:
" The good news is this transition should have no impact whatsoever on Comcast customers.Because they are connected to cable, all of our customers will continue to receive broadcast channels without interruption after the digital broadcast transition. They will be able to receive the new digital signals through new digital-ready TV's or boxes purchased in retail stores or through their existing digital set-top converter.
We will deliver broadcast signals digitally and we will convert the new broadcast digital signals back into analog signals at our headends so that customers who do not have or want a digital box or new TV will continue to receive the channels in the same way they receive them today without having to do anything."
I received this information by fax communication on 4/49/08.

While I have no objection to it being replayed , it should have been noted that I placed this article on the UCO Q & A.
Sorry Larry , I didn't think you would object to it being put on the Blog. What difference does it make whether I said it came from the Q&A ? Mike
Thank you for this information.
Good news.
Hi Larry, Just curious , Is there a reason you didn't post the cable TV info on the Blog?
Do I have this right? Comcast will send signals out 2 ways. I suppose there is more definition in the box or updated tv version.
It is confusing that they begin by saying we need to take action then they say we do not!
Mike - I’m sure the Q&A credit requirements are in Carole’s Rules.
I was presenting the correspondence as the Cable Chair of UCO and as such felt that the proper place to put the information was in the UCO Reporter (which it will be) and the UCO website. It was a judgment call on my part. While again, I have no objection to the information being reprinted on this blog,it would have been nice if the source of the information was divulged as was done in the past by Dave as a courtesy to the writer.
I did not post the information on this blog at the time as I did not have time to type it in while it was my intention to do so.
To Cannonball:
A more detailed explanation will be found in the next issue of the UCO Reporter.
I'm sorry Larry, I thought you were the source of the information. Mike
Mike, I was the source of the information about Comcast
Thanks Larry for the great news. I am very relieved I won't be needing to rent or buy 4 boxes!
Thanks Mike for sharing it with us. I know your intentions were very good - you just beat Larry to the punch!
Mike, see you tonight, maybe even Larry will pop in for a cup of coffee. But if not - we'll see him on the blog!
cheers!
