Question Connecting an Analog DVR to Comcast Digital Cable

I have an Analog DVR that is currently connected to Comcast cable without a digital converter. I know that if I obtain a DTA that I can record any channel that the DTA is set for but is there a way to record multiple shows on multiple channels? Does Comcast have a DTA that can be programmed to select multiple channels at various times? I realize that I am probably out of luck but I figured it cannot hurt to ask. Thanks in advance.

Nope, you'd have to have multiple tuners for that. Never hurts to ask though. Have you tried calling Comcast about negotiating for a new DVR?

No I haven't called yet. Wanted to learn what I could before making that call.

I was going to say, even if you obtained multiple DTAs, I don't think that would get you the ability to record multiple channels, but it would allow you to watch one channel and record another through your DVR. You'd need a A/B switch probably for that setup. Welcome to the forum.
