Well, it was worth a try, wajo. But, no go. I deleted all analog channels except the Weather Channel and a complete digital AON yielded nada.
I got a card in the mail from Comcast on Thursday saying that in addition to being authorized an STB and 2 DTAs, current "Standard" subscribers (the old extended basic tier) could upgrade to the digital starter tier without any additional charge.
When I went to pick up the equipment on Friday, they only had one DTA on hand, so I wound up with 2 STBs, the Moto DCT2224s. Last evening I hooked up one STB to the 3575 via E1 composite. There's no S-video out on the STB. I also connected the STB to the Slingbox via RF (the latter has two IR blasters), so I can now access both units from my PC or laptop in order to remotely manage recordings.
It's not ideal, but better than having only the locals for the 3575 - after the QAMs went scrambled last week.

Now, a BIGGER experiment...
Delete some or all analog channels, then see what you can find in the digital tuner that might be freed of "analog interference"?
Not sure how best to find, but maybe those another device like TV finds already? Either that or a digital AON again?
