There appear to be close to twenty boards for posting on this forum.
Will someone please provide a specific name of board where older posts will be archived?
Thanks.

It looks like there are seven boards for posts:
1) Internet
2) TV
3) Phone
4) Mobil Apps
5) Home Security and control
6) Billing and customer service
7) Xfinity Knowledge Base
Is the phone board, #3 , where older posts will be archived?

Thanks nerdburg
I think I understand it now.
I will still need the DTA's for extra TV's .
And this is because of the encryption.
And encryption prevented piracy and increased revenue at the same time.

IF the purpose of a digital TV adapter is to convert the signal from Digital to analog so that older analog TVs
can still be used, is it possible that an all Digital TV would eliminate the need the adapter in the first place?
Thanks:

We currently pay $5.99 ea. two rent two digital adapters, where each adapter is connected to a TV.
These are NOT the same thing as a cable boxes.
It is my understanding that these digital adapters are not available for sale on the retail market.
Does this sound correct? Thanks.

I currently rent the cable box from Comcast.
Motorola DCH70 manufactured 6/2007.
It has standard RCA cable connections.
But nothing available for an optical cable (fibre optic).
I need to swap out this old cable box for a newer one (which can handle fibre optic cables).
Can I just take the box to an Infinity store myself?
Or do I have to have a Comcast tech come out?

Hello MNtundraRET
I must admit that your avatar , Mia , the frequent flyer French Bulldog , is a cute little fur baby.
Right up there with Caruso the Celebrity Dachshund and his brother Oakley.
I do have a few pics on my hard-drive with file size less than 1000KB, so may create my own avatar.
I really like your sense of humor. Thanks for taking time to enlighten the unenlightened.

Hello Bronze Problem Solver
When I went to the link you provided I couldn't find much except for some very goofy looking symbols (28 total).
Even if these are the "new and improved " avatars it's very difficult to tell how to select them.
When clicking on a couple of these at random up popped something called ComcastJessie: Admin 6/30/2003
Maybe someone could take a peeky-boo and see what's going on.

Hello RichPublic
Just to confirm.
Are you using the NetGear C7100 V , that Comcast has blessed ,or the C7100 V-605 , that your link references?

I was using one of the "From the Community" avatars, which has about 14 categories to chose from.
I had chosen the "Panda" bear avatar , from the "animal" category.
This worked fine for a couple of days.
But today (2/9) all avatars in all categories are simply blank.
At least on my computer.
I dunno what happened. And I really miss that fur baby Panda bear.
Any ideas?

The purpose of this post is to merely point out how many years since D3.1 was initially released.
It does seem that by this time there would be tons of D3.1 telephone enabled non-gateway modems on the retail market.

I guess you could always try (review) the Netgear CM500V on Amazon.
It has Comcast's blessing and does not have a router.
unfortunately, it is out of stock a this time.
Normal retail ~ $130
By scrolling over the image (on Amazon) you can see the back-side inputs:
1 port for co-axial cable power
1 either port
2 telephone line ports
reset button

Thanks BruceW.
I really appreciate your response.
I hit the "kudo" button .....no luck there.
I also tried to the "emoticon" feature. No luck there either.
But hey, the least the spell checker works.

Comcast appears to offer two voice plans
One is Voice unlimited
The other Voice unlimited saver
Does anyone know the current price of each of these?
Ditto the primary difference between the two?
Thanks in advance for your most gracious response.

What is the difference between a TV adapter and a cable box ?
For example: a Comcast TV adapter (avail to rent) vs a Comcast cable box (avail to rent)
Thanks in advance.
