Local Comcast recently went all digital. Now they are changing from 3 digit channel numbers to FOUR digit channel numbers. Does this mean that I must manually re-do all my Season Passes or will Tivo Premiere update to the correct channel selections?

It should update automatically but if you look at the Season Passes they will probably reflect the old channel numbers. This is based on when I switched from Comcast to FiOS. All my Season passes were still intact and automatically started recording from the proper channels on FiOS. But if I looked at the Season Pass settings, it still showed the channel number that comcast used, even though it recorded from the correct channel on FiOS.

Eventually I replaced the Season Passes with one that had the FiOS channel number so I wouldn't get confused a year or so down the road.
