Comcast is upgrading the basic channels to come in digitally. If you get basic digital service (no HD, no DVR) Comcast gives you a Moto DCT700 http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/productdetai l.asp?ProductID=385 which has no analog tuner, everything is digital. It is a great improvement over the fuzzy basic cable you are talking about.
