I will soon be buying a new HD television, and plan to convert from Comcast "basic" cable service to Comcast digital service. Comcast advised me that by converting to digital the signal I will be receiving will enable me to view many of their broadcasts in the HD format. If that is indeed the case, will my new TV automatically provide me a HD picture or will I still need to buy a separate HD receiver in addition to the HD television? As you can tell, I am new at this and am not really sure what I am getting myself into. Therefore, SEND HELP!!!Thanks......Peter

Hey Peter,Comcast will provide you with a Motorola DCT5100 Digital Cable/HDTV receiver. Nice thing is - it's free! You'll pay only for the upgrade from analog to digital cable. The HD is on Comcast at this point. They'll even supply the component video cables to connect the 5100 to your new HDTV. Have fun and enjoy the pics.

Contact Comcast to see if you can rent the HDTV box. I have Time Warner and when they get off their ass here in SoCal and decide to broadcast more than a couple of premium channels in HiDef, they said they will rent the HDTV receiver for about $10/month. In the long run it might be more expensive that way, ut I figure if it breaks or needs upgrading, it'll be on their dime.
In other words, I will need Comcast to provide a box (similar to what I have now) for their digital cable line AND a second box to serve as the HDTV receiver? Or, will I need only one box?Regards.......Peter
Comcast is one box solution - it does everything.
If Comcast works like Time Warner, you'll need a digital and an HDTV box.
