I've came to a conclusion long ago that the money Comcast wanted for their
service wasn't worth it.  I pay $17/mo. for 12 channels (broadcast +
Discovery + TBS).  If they go digital on me, I will continue to use my
AverMedia A180 QAM tuners.  If they go encrypted, I will drop them
altogether and get my TV out of Chicago via HD antenna.  With my Netflix
subscription + Hulu and other online services, I get everything I want to
watch that everyone else pays $40+ more per month for (Battlestar, Dexter,
etc), I just had to resign myself to being one season behind.  I can live
with that.  There's more TV on my 12 channels than I can watch in a week
anyways.
