Just turned on my bedroom tv which uses cable but no box so I only get local channel HD signals via the qam tuner. Worked fine last night, today none of them are receiving a signal, no HD survivor tonight :(

Blame Comcast.

Hook up a set of rabbit ears. Your picture will be an order of magnitude better than via Comcast.

Try doing another channel scan. That's what I did when I lost my digital/HD channels.

Do this, the frequencies probably changed.

I can't pull in locals worth watching with an antenna on the roof. Too far away from the transmitters coupled with too many trees. An antenna or rabbit ears is not the solution for everyone.

Your cable company is required by law to broadcast those channels in the clear if they broadcast them to their subscribers. You're a subscriber. If this continues file a complaint with the FCC.

Crappy layout and I tend to dislike places that hang 1.1 billion signs around telling you what you can't do.
