It's been awhile (2009). I think if you have set scan for cable channels with direct connection to cable may result in a couple of channels. Possibly just placards with instructions on how to obtain.
If you had TV cable service back then, they wanted you to connect their boxes (2 were given free to each customer) between your TV and the wall wire. This way the could deliver PPV, VOD as well as digital encrypted channels. Now they could tell what each and every item was recording/watching. No more cable ready tuning. Each VCR/PVR had to now have its own box to select station. Of course, for an additional monthly fee you could rent their PVR.
My mother had been paying for cable. She passed away and I didn't want to continue with it as I was getting my worldwide movies & TV 'shows' free via downloading as I still do. If I want to watch certain channels 'Live' and I an willing to go with sub standard quality I can, but unless it's a news event, I'll wait for the download.
So even with a now-a-daze TV you will probably need something additional from Comcast for an addition fee.
And remember they WILL tell you that all this is for YOUR convenience.
