partially off topic. We still have one small analog tv in the kitchen
and the tuner wall wart died so I called Comcast. In the past I would
have simply exchanged it myself but Comcast closed the local office
and rather than drive 45 minutes each way I called for service. My
system incorporates both an Hdhomerun cable card Prime and an
Hdhomerun OTA Connect. When the tech saw the antenna he officiously
declined my report the inputs don't merge and insisted upon checking
the wiring to ensure the two don't intersect. He noticed the splitter
was an “older model” and insisted upon swapping it for a new
unit. While there he disconnected the ground lead which I had running
from both the Comcast splitter and the OTA lead to a copper water
pipe. Regrettably, he wasn't very forthcoming with information. So
my question is this: Would I be well-served to reconnect the ground
lead since the new splitter does have a connection for a ground lead?</div>

clueless about Mythv; moreover, he came across as miffed that I
employ a cable card system. He noted that there are probably fewer
than ten cable card customers in my 35K population downstate Illinois
city. He remarked “we had a migration recently and you won't get HD
anymore with a cable card.” Which is inaccurate. On another note, I
played around a bit with KODI on a Raspberry Pi a while back and
noticed that it accessed OTA but not Comcast content. The problem was
resolved when I rescanned the channel lineup via the Silicondust
website. I assume this had something to do with the infamous Comcast
channel migration but the fix I stumbled into was really just a lucky
WAG and I'd like to know if my assumption is correct.
