Default Comcast has rendered my Digital TV Tuner Card useless

I hope someone can help me! I have a nice computer set up with all the bells and whistles including a Hauppauge TV tuner/capture card which receives both analog and digital signals. I'm WAS able to watch and record local and cable channels via Windows Media center. My cable line goes straight from the wall to my computer.

NOW Comcast has changed their service in my area to ALL digital so they are requiring me to use a Digital Transport Adapter. The problem is, by using that device, my computer tv tuner must be on channel 3 at all times. This means my Windows Media Center is useless and I can no longer program shows to record. If I don't use the Adapter then I only receive local channels.

I spent hours on the phone with Comcast yesterday only to be told too bad, we don't support tv tuners.

Does anybody have a solution? I thought my TV tuner card wouldn't need the adapter since it is able to accept digital signals...guess I was wrong :-(

Please help!!!!!
