I believe that was "your" impression, however, the informed -- that is,
people who have actually tried -- impression was something different, in
line with your current experience.
Thanks for sharing you newly informed observation with us, Tom. You spent
much effort, IIRC, on previously telling us we were wrong.
I'd be interested in hearing of these exceptions, as they violate FCC part
15 regulations, which could involve very expensive fines against the
retailer, distributor and importer.
You see, with laws, it's not the compliance that's news; it's
non-compliance. Also, I noted some months ago that using a QAM tuner, one
can also watch some premium channels, and that was on Cox Cable San Diego.
Funny you didn't mention that "feature" with Cox Cable Gainesville, a much,
much smaller system.

I believe the last time it was discussed here we left it that the low
end digital sets probably did not have unencrypted QAM support. My post
was another data point to that discussion. But if everyone else
remembers differently then please excuse the redundancy.
Again, I believe sets like my new one with QAM will likely become the
standard expectation for "cable ready" and "lifeline cable" going
forward but some digital TV's are still likely exceptions this year.
