[CALUG] Digital TV Tuner card

[Jacques L'Heureux]

They do work but there are only 18 real HD channels out of 300+ =

channels.. During the day, most of these "HD" stations are sending =

regular broadcasts (480i). Check out the list at 3 pm
http://tvlistings4.zap2it.com/comcast/grid.asp?partner_id=3Dcomcast

For a list of the HD stations offered by Comcast near Columbia, see the =

attached file from the comcast.com website. Of these 18, only the first =

6 are not encoded. The other 12 are only available with the topset box =

and for an extra monthly fee.
