Ok, I just had a live chat with a Comcast analyst, and it turns out my cable box simply isn't an HD cable box. I just need to switch the box for an HD one. No word on any fees for doing that, I'm hoping there won't be any since I'm trading one box for another, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of fee. Ugh. What a pain. And they stressed over and over that as long as we have digital cable, we didn't have to do a thing.
This whole digital conversion is so confusing. It'll be even more confusing trying to set the thing up, as there'll be another fee getting someone out here to do it for me.
I did find a way to receive the stations again, albeit temporarily. They are apparently going bye-bye for good on April 14th. So I have almost a month to do something about it. Unfortunately, the way I found I could get the stations isn't connected to my Tivo, so I basically don't have a DVR for the next month.
Ugh, what a pain!!
