Comcast digital switch

Despite the recent push from the U.S. House of Representatives to delay televisions switch to digital until June 12, Comcast has already begun the transition in parts of Washington, Western Oregon and the San Francisco area. According to Comcast, expanded basic customers are eligible for one free basic set top box and two smaller "DTA" converter devices which will enable customers to view all previously available channels. The downside, these free boxes will no longer receive high definition signals and require an additional $6.95 per month to upgrade to an HD service that was once free... Ah, capitalism at its best.

Here's the most recent schedule for the Puget Sound region and a list of affected channels.
