In some markets. According to several MythTV-users threads, some markets 
have gone all encrypted, and the rest will eventually follow:

Someone in the thread explains the reason for the switch to encryption
was that "the FCC lifted the ban on encrypting basic service." More on
that here:

If true, we might be able to do something about this by filing complains
here:

Comcast certainly won't like it, but they could accomplish their
anti-piracy goals by installing pole filters on the drops for the
minority of subscribers who are signed up for basic-only.
