I talked with a Comcast representative today. Of course, in order to
get to an actual person, I had to tell the computer that I had nine
televisions that didn't have set-top boxes. :)
I told the person I spoke with that I have a TV with a QAM tuner and
asked her if I needed a set-top box, since I was currently able to
view the digital channels. She told me that she didn't know what QAM
was, but that was the magic word the technicians used. "If you have a
QAM TV, you don't need a set-top box" was what she said.
She was surprised that a one-year old TV could do it, she asked if I
bought the TV within the last week or so.
There is, however, no guarantee that Comcast won't change this policy.
I didn't bring up encryption specifically, but when I asked if
[clear QAM] was a temporary situation, she said that things "may be
subject to change", but that she didn't know of any near-term plans to
change the way things are.
