It's cold comfort, but this is apparently going to become the rule everywhere. My father (who is a cable-industry consultant) warned me about it a couple of months ago -- essentially, all the ads Comcast is running to the tune of, "Don't worry about the digital transition, Comcast users don't need to change a thing" are outright lies. Pretty much all analog boxes that don't have a cable box in front of them (including most DVRs) are going to be screwed quite soon.
My reaction to this was, "Are they crazy? They're going to piss off half their customers!" Apparently this is true, they're kind of aware of it, but they're going to do it anyway...
