Does Comcast’s Pittsburgh cable system provide HDTV (High Definition Television) signals for those networks that distribute them?
Yes. HDTV on cable began in 2004 with an initial package of HDTV cable network services. These are additional cost options, requiring specific HDTV equipment. Not all digital television is HDTV. Purchasing an HDTV set, alone, will not bring HDTV pictures and sound into your living room. Comcast can provide specific details re: programming options, hardware requirements, and related prices. Can I stop my children from watching specific cable channels? Yes. Your cable TV converter has a Parental Control feature that lets you lock-out and unlock channels. A Comcast customer service representative (412-771-8100) can walk you through the steps to activate the lock-out feature, or you can watch the instructional video that frequently airs on City Channel Pittsburgh.
