Is that to kill the cablecard? -- nm - spamlet Oct 14, 09:46 2
- more basic. we're on basic cable getting Clear QAM HD. Now they require a box which kills my use of my HDHomeRun for DVR -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 09:52 1
  - Ah, I thought you were using a cablecard to get the signal decrypted. -- nm - spamlet Oct 14, 10:02
*encrypts everything* -- nm - Chipotle Oct 14, 09:45
what do you plan to use instead? -- nm - decline Oct 14, 09:45 4
- looking to put up an HDTV antenna and get my stations from Chicago (I'm only on basic cable anyways) -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 09:52 3
  - yeah, probably the only route you'll be able to go. I wonder how big an antenna you'll need - decline Oct 14, 09:53 2
    - well, looks like something like this attic or roof mounted is fine for even the weak WBBM signal -- (link) - oblique Oct 14, 09:54 1
      - good luck with that. - spamlet Oct 14, 10:01
Encrypting how? -- nm - David Oct 14, 09:44 2
- Currently I get HD stations via basic cable unencrypted. They now require a box. This does not jive with my 4 tuner MythTV setup -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 09:51 1
  - I don't know that you'll find another provider who does this anymore -- nm - decline Oct 14, 09:52
One of the happiest days in Strongbad's House for the past couple of years was the day we fired Comcast - Strongbad Oct 14, 09:44 1
