yes, i understand that is the way it is *supposed* to be but it was my<br>
understanding that some cable companies (comcast in particular) kind<br>
of play fast and loose and that requirement. also that it is not a<br>
company wide policy in that the channels you get unencrypted in devner<br>
may be different than those you can get in phoenix, etc. hence my<br>
question to anyone in the denver area and their experience.<br>

Where things get fast and lose is with all of the other channels. A few places will carry all of their basic cable programs in the clear while other will encrypt everything except the OTA channels. I am sorry I am not in Denver, so I can't help you with those other channels, but it is safe to assume that you will be able to get the OTA channels in the clear.<br>
