I know in our neighborhood, all you have to do is open the neighborhood box (none are locked in this area), plug yourself in, and you've got basic analog cable. Take the filter that may or may not be there off, and you've got the full package (less HBO, Cinemax, etc...). Not that I've ever done this stuff...just know others who have. Basically, once there is a cable connection going into your home, there should be analog signal travelling down it unless your cable provider is (for some stupid reason) intentionally blocking it. Though, with Comcast, I'm sure the stupid reason part is there.
