Comcast told me "When the DTV Transition goes as planned, we will Have enough bandwidth to add your indicated HD channel to your local lineup" so i guess its too good to be true then  :(
Comcast has their own "DTV Transition" plans. They are in a lot of areas getting rid of the Expanded Basic tier of analog and putting it in all digital.

Also, the boxes that they have available for older analog TVs are called "DTA"s and they are much cheaper than a full box. For Comcast you can get 2 for free, and I think its about a dollar for another.

What do they mean by "bandwidth" for a channel? Like I heard adding individual Intellistars to satellite companies take too much bandwidth?

Each cable system has an allotted space of bandwidth. It's similar to internet bandwidth, but a bit different. Analog channels take up a massive amount of bandwidth compared to compressed MPEG2 channels. I don't remember what the ratio is, but I think it was about 5-6 SD MPEG2 compressed to one NTSC Analog channel.

Uh, yes. That's about a third of the reason why I watch TWC.

Good point. IDK smooth jazz now sounds just like the same. There's barely any variety. I enjoyed smooth jazz from early this decade and even the 90s but now within the past 2-3 years, most of the new jazz albums coming out sound horrible.
