[mythtv-users] What can be done about a USA cable provider encrypting local channels?

[William Munson]

Recently Comcast took over our cable system and now they have decided to 
encrypt all the local channels which really sucks since I am too far 
away from the transmitters to get them as OTA. What can I do about it? I 
know from past experience they are going to play dumb and deny, deny, 
deny... (It took 20+ calls to get them to fix the intermittent cable 
issue down the road that was causing dropouts)

 I would love to find a class action law suite to bring on them however 
I doubt thats going to be an option. Thoughts or suggestions? I am about 
ready to put my HDHR up for sale and say FUG IT!

TIA,
Bill
