I got three DTB (digital transport boxes) from Comcast when they went digital a few months ago. All three worked for a few days and went dead. Re-pinging them from their website went nowhere.

A new Samsung HD set, a used Sony XBR set and a DVD recorder with a digi tuner fixed all. All have QAM tuners and I get everything...although the channels are in the upstream Comcast mapping. No HD from the premium levels but that is expected.

I have all my basic channels but mixed up and subject to monthly re-mapping. So what if CNN is not on 31 but 103.7. I can live with that. And the OTA HD channels as must-carry are better than the version that any Comcast box would pass after massive compression.
