Re: [MacGroup] Insight Digital clear QAM
Lee, Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. A few will be blocked, but most will stay clear. As I understand it currently.

[MacGroup] Insight Digital clear QAM

No good reason to broadcast three versions of the same content two SD and one HD version. They need the bandwidth for HD and internet and phone so the SD channels will be moving out. I've heard nothing about Insight turning off the clear QAM channels. Have you heard for sure they will be removing channels from the lower tier as they add more HD channels? There are already some clear QAM channels in HD—all the local channels, for example—and they've even been adding a few more, such as WGN. This will likely mean all those people who got digital to analog converters from them last month will be sol because I think those boxes only get clear QAM. I know there are a few Insight employees subscribed to the list.
