RCN Cable

[evilcrayon.livejournal.com]

I pay for basic cable, no cable box. But I don't use rabbit ears and now I have no channels whatsoever. Does anyone know what is going on? I thought that the only people affected by the switch to digital in February were people who did not get their tv signal through a cable already.

Not according to what I've read, no. Standard digital can be either 4:3 or 16:9, HD only comes in 16:9. Again, this is just from what I've read.

HD by definition is 720 or 1080 and 16:9, but you can have digital SD (640x480i).

However my point was that RCN used to have clear QAM where all my HDTVs could get all the local HD stations using their QAM tuners. Then RCN encrypted most of their QAM (including all HD content) and is offering me less service at a higher cost. That's my beef.
