That may be true, but I don't think Comcast has any plans to do this right
now. From what I understand, the extended basic channels in Boston were
always scrambled, so you've always needed a cable box to receive them. In
most towns, these channels have not been scrambled, so they could be picked
up with any cable ready TV. Since analog cable boxes are pretty much a thing
of the past, Boston was able to get away with this, from what I've heard.
