Over the air signals on Comcast....

[Ron Bello]

In Mashpee until last year, you could receive Expanded Basic (up to #80ish)
without Comcast's small digital converter.  All SD, no HD.
No longer the case.  Everything is now digital.  When they first
distributed the digital converters you could get 2 at no additional monthly
charge.
Now Comcast bills them at $2 / month / converter.
