This morning there was test for your TVs and the dtv signal. I have cable boxes on all of my tvs and 1 HDTV.
The HDTV worked fine and got a pass signal but all of the analog tv's with cable boxes got a clear signal with fail sign on it.
I thought if you had a cable box you would pass on an analog tv.
Two of the boxes are HDTV with DVR and 1 is a basic cable tv top of set box.

I have comcast cable in the Houston area.

Anyone know why the fail signal would have come through on the tvs with boxes? This is contrary to what all of the sites are saying.

The TVs that failed are about 7 and 12 years old.

Thanks

That is so odd, you should have been fine. In fact, even if you had basic cable, your TVs should still work after the February 17th, 2009 digital transition date.

It looks like there was a Comcast Engineering problem,
