CC1.0 users won't get on-demand type programming or other privileges either. I'm not actually saying I believe Comcast's hype or anything, but regular cable subscribers don't get a lot of channels that are only offered via digital cable, and CC1.0 will be a disadvantage in any case; so is it unbelievable that there would be channels only available to CC2.0/comcast box users? I suppose there's the fact that analog cable costs less than digital cable, but I still wouldn't put it past Comcast to screw over people with CC1.0 devices that way.
Might be a great ploy to force people to switch to renting their mediocre boxes.
