Oh, BTW, Comcast isn't disabling the analog channels just yet, they're just simulcasting all the analog channels on digital. Then if your STB dies, they give you a new cheaper all digital one (a MOT DCT 700). Avoids having to deal with signal quality problems with the analog channels, at least in your house. Over time this could get them closer to being able to get rid of analog without gateways like this, at least in your house. But I don't think thats the point.
