[mythtv-users] To survive the switch to digital...

[Nick Ellson]

I understood the changes just as you described. I knew I was not linked to 
the OTA changes that teh FCC requires of broadcast stations. I am saying 
that my local Comcast loop is ALSO planning their switch in this area for 
around that same time... and it is THAT change I want to cope with :)
