Thread: CableCard installed at comcast DIGITAL home, now moving to BASIC home. Still work?
Started 1 month, 1 week ago by sungho2o8
I lived in apartment where I paid for comcast digital cable service with a CableCard installed in my HDTV. I am now moving to an apartment where they only have Basic cable. Will my CableCard still receive digital cable? Thank you.

Just make sure you call Comcast and let them know your new address. It should work fine.

The only answer is maybe... Give it a try, if it works, bonus. If it doesn't, call them.

Interesting question. It depends on how Comcast is authorizing its cards. It should continue to descramble as normal, since it is, in essence, still being paid. You should have no problems.

Your new apt, do they provide free basic to you, or the only thing you can hope to get is basic. Alot of apts offer a bulk level of service, but you can offer to upgrade your package to digital tv or phone + internet. Also your new apartment is also serviced by the same cable provider as your old one?

You will have to pay for digital programming to keep the cable card, and use it. GL
