Hi,<br><br>I have a Toshiba 62hm15a, a television which has some kind of cable<br>tuner built-in, besides the CableCard business. I can take my cable<br>directly from the wall and plug it into the TV, and receive all my basic
<br>cable channels (up to channel 80 or so, the only ones I care about).<br>I've read up about how Comcast (my provider) usually encrypts channels<br>or makes them otherwise unavailable without going through an STB.<br><br>
Rather than asking questions about how to make this work with my tuners<br>(two Air2PC HD-5000's) what I'd first like to know is if anyone knows<br>why my TV is capable of decoding them just fine? </blockquote><div><br>I have comcast too. Are you sure that the first 80 channels are digital as my channels up to
<br>72 are all analog. And for me with my digital tuner in my sony HD wega I get a few digital<br>cable channels but these are only the unencrypted channels and the 40+ music channels.<br></div></div><br>John<br>
