Reply #40: I'm sorry but you seem to be very confused. There is no conversion to "HDTV" law There never was. [View All]

The law you are confused about concerns OVER THE AIR (not cable) broadcast service providers only. And it only requires over the air broadcast service providers to switch from an analogue to a digital signal.

This has absolutely no effect whatsoever on any cable or satellite service provider. NONE. Nada. It only effects a TV signal that is sent from a local antenna to your home antenna. That's it.

If Comcast tells you otherwise then Comcast is lying to you. Postponing the transition can not and will not have any effect on what Comcast is charging you for your cable package. Comcast is going to raise your rates no matter what happens.
