[PLUG] pcHDTV 5500 and QAM 256 with Comcast in KoP
|
So here's the deal, someone with Comcast in this area has to find out
the frequency assignments for the HDTV channels. You need a comcast
supplied cable box with a diagnostic mode. If you can, I would
greatly appreciate the help. I don't know anythging about the boxes,
so I can't tell you what diagnositc mode means.
