RCN digital TV hurts my feelings.
RCN (at least in Framingham) dropped their remaining analogue channels this week. All channels are now digital. Anyone out there happen to know if these are clear-QAM ? The interwebs imply they are not .. but I can't find any thing authorative. RCN claims you need a cable box for each TV and doesn't mention TVs that might have QAM tuners .. this would also seem to confirm all are encoded.
A good bit peeved about this .. I watch most of my TV using a little Elgato EYE-TV encoder attached to my computer .. and it only tunes analogue. This change effectively disables my favorite TV and breaks my pattern of encoding a few favorite shows for the ipod. Damn you RCN.
I'm considering trying a a digital over-the-air antenna and possibly cancelling my cable TV service... not sure Robyn's on board with this plan though. Unsure if I really want to install an outdoor antenna ... I suppose it could be sufficiently discrete, though.
