I don't think this is a dumb question, it's certainly not one that Comcast<br>
would answer...<br>
<br>
Today I receive my local stations over QAM to my HDHR as delivered by my<br>
Comcast subscription.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if anyone actually knows (first hand) if Comcast kills your<br>
signal completely or simply backs you down to "locals only" (like an<br>
antenna") if you completely cancel your account. I envision that it's more<br>
work for them to send a truck to kill the signal completely than it is for<br>
some support agent to back down my subscription and stop billing.<br>
<br>
Basically I'm wrestling with a decision to put up an HD antenna of my own<br>
or not... if there's a decent chance that Comcast would keep feeding me the<br>
locals, I'd love to know. Of course, YMMV will be in everyone's response -<br>
