It's like eggs are frying in your soundroom. Thank goodness it is just as convenient as it is noisy! Comcast said they may replace all current boxes this summer w/ new Thompson units. The sooner the better. I've been through about a dozen bogus boxes. I love the way, on the hd boxes, the standard defini ...
