Hello all. Currently in the process of setting up live TV with my HTPC. Tried multiple antenna solutions with no luck (stupid mountain blocking my signals), so now moving toward the cable/m-card/ceton solution.
I have the Ceton InfiniTV 4 installed, but confused on next steps. By the way, live in the Atlanta area and currently have Comcast internet.
1. Are ClearQAM channels available in this area? I don't have any cable services and tried hooking up my TV to the cable outlet, but it didn't recognize any channels. I'm assuming the answer is no and I need to subscribe to a basic service through Comcast?
2. If I can't get ClearQAM and have to subscribe to a cable service, what subscription service do I need to get local channels in HD? Will the basic cable package that costs ~$16 provide HD content (channels 1-30) or do I need to subscribe to their basic "digital" package?
3. Will installing a free M-Card provide anything without subscribing to basic cable? Again, I'm assuming I have to subscribe to a Comcast service, then get the m-card in order to receive TV content, but wasn't 100% sure.
Thanks all…just a little confused with all this, so any and all help is appreciated.
