I have Comcast, and my TV is connected to the cable box with a HDMI to DVI cable (TV has HDMI and cable box has DVI-D, but both are digital formats). I have the regular local channels (channels 2-9) and then I have the HD version of the local channels (channels 802-809).

Basically you need an HD cable box if you have an HD-ready and you will have seperate HD versions of the regular channels.

Is it possible that the default cable box is an HD one?

Thanks!
