I went through this with Comcast here in PA. They first assured me that there would be no problems, but on pressing -- I asked them to confirm that my direct cable feed with no intervening box would work -- they hemmed and hawed and eventually said something like, "well, of course you'll have to upgrade to another package", at more than double the rate I was paying. I'd been thinking of dumping them anyway and that was the last straw, so I went out and bought an amplified antenna and a converter box, and so far as I know I'll be fine come February (or whenever).

All that said, a DVR would be a better long-term option so I'll be watching the comments on this entry.
