Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. I think you can thank the MPAA, cable companys and MS for the changes. They are doing what they can to boost their revenues. They don't want consumers recording programs. They want consumers purchasing at higher profit margins or renting short term. I think we'll see more of this in the future. There are some sharp users on the forum that might have a work around for you.

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!!!!!
