[mythtv-users] Comcast rendering my HDHR useless

The weird thing is that about a month ago, they put almost EVERYTHING on
QAM.  I just happened to rescan and my HDHR was picking up all the stuff
that's available over analog, plus all the cool HD stuff like TLC, and even
some digital tier stuff like TruTV.

I thought they were gonna open all this up as an alternative to analog, but
now it doesn't look good.
